The Space Control bridge on a pinned ebony base pairs with the Bigsby B3GP string-thru tailpiece for smooth vibrato and stable tuning helped along by Grover Sta-Tite tuners. With a simple three-way pickup toggle and three-position tone switch its easy to dial in mix-ready sounds that cut without harshness. Its vintage Gretsch feel modern reliability and serious stage presence in one sparkling package
