2.

A name brand of a producer of musical instruments, more widely know for their guitars and their respective sound. Musicians can easily distinguish between a Gretsch guitar and a lesser-quality instrument, and has been that way ever since the company was founded over 100 years ago by Friedrich Gretsch. Friedrich moved to America from Mannheim, Germany, where he set up shop in 1883 in Brooklyn, where the Gretsch sound was born.

While Gretsch guitars were selling well enough, the company's brand name gained recognition when George Harrison of the Beatleswas seen on TV playing his Country Gentleman.

The list of guitar greats who have played a Gretsch electric guitar is long and well, long. Many of which have teamed up with Gretsch to design their own models. Such as the Gretsch Billy-Bo model for example. This take on the classic Gretsch "Jupiter Thunderbird" was designed with the help of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top and Bo Diddley. It looks like a vintage Gretsch guitar, but is new to the 2005 lineup.

some famous gretsch guitar players include but is not limited to:

George Harrison of the Beatles (country gentleman)

Malcom Young of AC/DC (rock-jet)

Randy Bachman of Bachman-Terner Overdrive

Steve Stills and Neil Young of the Monkees
