New Accessories & Useful Gadgets

While it wasn't my first year attending the NAMM show (I've been to shows in Nashville and Anaheim a dozen or so times), it was my first as Gryphon's accessory buyer, and it just so happens that some very cool new products were introduced this year. Here's a brief description of some highly useful new items we're now stocking at Gryphon.

Gryphon Greets Gretsch!

For years, we've longed for an electric guitar--at a lower price point than our beloved Collings--that fits in with the rootsy/ retro/ little bit country little bit rock 'n roll vibe here at Gryphon. Luckily for us, a few months ago we were approached by Gretsch to carry their instruments. Personally, I have a long history with Gretsch guitars- undoubtedly spurred by my lifelong love of The Beatles and so many other iconic 60's musicians who relied on these stylish and great sounding guitars. In addition to electric guitars, Gretsch also offers their "roots" series of inexpensive ukuleles, banjos, resonator and acoustic instruments. So whether you want a pro-quality electric hollowbody guitar or a cool starter uke, we've got a Gretsch to suit you.
