Pairing USA Full'Tron pickups with classic Gretsch designs, this guitar is tailor-made for musicians seeking a dynamic, expressive semi-hollow with a world-class sound.
The John Gourley Electromatic Broadkaster boasts a semi-hollow body with an arched laminated maple top. The result? It has a bright, resonant voice that shines both acoustically and amplified.

Its USA Full'Tron humbuckers deliver a dynamic, articulate sound with plenty of growl and chime across the entire frequency spectrum. Additionally, this model features a treble bleed circuit on the master volume control, ensuring crisp highs even with the volume rolled down.
Featuring a thin "U" shaped maple neck, a 12"-radius laurel fingerboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets, the Gretsch Electromatic John Gourley Broadkaster plays with a remarkably smooth, comfortable feel. In other words, it's a workingman's guitar - this beauty was made to see stage time. Check it out today if you've been searching for a well-crafted, versatile semi-hollow that punches well above its weight class!
