Memorabilia
1952-1953 "Your Album of Gretsch Guitars" Catalog
Highlights the electric models, continuing the move away from the cat-eye Synchromatics. The company was very much in transition at the time: note the early Electromatic and Electro II guitars, the appearance of cutaway bodies, and the inclusion of the hollowbody Corvette and Streamliner (both introduced in early '53) but the exclusion of the Jets (introduced later in '53).
