The Gretsch Electromatic® Baritone CVT delivers iconic Gretsch tone with thunderous low-end authority. Designed for players who want to explore deeper tunings without sacrificing clarity or punch, this baritone takes a classic Gretsch silhouette and extends it into bold new sonic territory.
Built with a solid mahogany body and sleek bevelled contours, the Baritone CVT offers excellent balance and comfort. Its extended 27” scale-length bolt-on maple neck with a Performance “C” profile provides smooth playability and firm string tension, ideal for maintaining tight, articulate tone in lower registers.
Twin Six™ humbucking pickups produce powerful output with impressive definition, while individual push/pull coil-splits allow you to shift from thick humbucker drive to crisp single-coil textures. A master volume with treble bleed ensures clarity at any level, and the Adjust-O-Matic™ bridge with stoptail tailpiece provides solid tuning stability and sustain.
Whether you’re crafting cinematic soundscapes, heavy riffs, or ambient textures, the Electromatic® Baritone CVT expands your creative range with unmistakable Gretsch character.
