Gretsch Brooklyn

USA-made maple/poplar Gretsch kit with open 302-hoop resonance.

Gretsch Shell pack

The Gretsch Brooklyn Series sits below USA Custom and Broadkaster while still being handcrafted in South Carolina. Its 6-ply maple/poplar shells, Silver Sealer interiors, 30-degree bearing edges, and 302 hoops give it a versatile balance of classic Gretsch warmth and modern punch.
