Gretsch Catalina Club

Warm mahogany compact Gretsch kit built for jazz, travel, and retro tone.

Gretsch Shell pack

The Gretsch Catalina Club is a modern compact classic, especially in its 18-inch jazz configuration. Its 7-ply mahogany shells, 30-degree edges, matching snare, and small footprint make it a favorite for jazz, small stages, urban gigging, and warm vintage-flavored acoustic tones.
