Laminated basswood body
The laminated basswood top, back and sides produce a powerful sound, while the voluminous dreadnought body produces an extremely assertive sound. The result is a clear sound that clearly articulates every single note, making it perfect for fingerpicking and complex chords. These sound characteristics make the guitar suitable for a wide range of musical styles and make it a popular stage and studio instrument.
High playing comfort
As it produces a lower string tension, the shortened scale length of 629 mm also ensures absolutely comfortable playability. This means that less force is required when fingering, which is a huge advantage, especially for inexperienced fingers. Chords and tone sequences are much easier to play and rapid learning progress is guaranteed. Another advantage is the ergonomic C-profile of the Nato neck which allows a comfortable hand position at any point. The walnut fingerboard also contributes to the effortless gliding of the fretting hand over all frets thanks to its pleasant feel. Pure playing pleasure is further guaranteed by the nickel-plated die-cast open-gear tuners, which ensure a high level of tuning stability, while the compensated bridge inlay produces a flat string action and therefore clean intonation.
Elegant design
The Gretsch JD Dreadnought WPG RXB offers ambitious and style-conscious beginners a master class design in addition to its great sound and overwhelming playability. The top has a traditional sunburst semi-gloss finish, whose exciting color gradient gives the instrument an incredible visual warmth and depth. The back and sides in the natural semi-gloss finish tastefully highlight the fine grain of the tonewoods and form a skillful contrast to the bold colors of the top. Together with the aged white pickguard with "G" graphic, aged white bindings and a decorative rosette with black and white rings, the manufacturer demonstrates its attention to detail and incredible expertise in the art of guitar making.
