Description
The Gretsch Electromatic CVT Baritone Rosewood in Bristol Fog is built for players who want to explore lower tunings without losing clarity or punch. If you are writing heavier riffs, layering cinematic textures, or just want a baritone that still feels familiar in your hands, this one makes a lot of sense. It takes the classic Gretsch CVT shape and stretches it into 27 inch scale territory, giving you that extended range response with a look that still feels rooted in tradition.
The solid mahogany body delivers a warm, focused foundation with plenty of natural sustain, and the bolt on maple neck keeps the attack clear and defined. The bound rosewood fingerboard features a comfortable 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, so chording stays smooth while single note lines have room to breathe. A pair of Twin Six humbuckers provide thick low end authority without turning to mud. With individual push pull coil splits for each pickup, plus a master volume with treble bleed and a master tone, you can move from full, driving baritone grind to more articulate, almost single coil style textures when the part calls for it.
The Performance C neck profile feels approachable and balanced, and the longer scale stays tight under lower tunings. An anchored Adjusto Matic bridge with stop tailpiece keeps intonation solid and tuning stable. We like this model because it gives you true baritone depth in a straightforward, gig ready platform that does not fight you. If you have been curious about adding a baritone to your lineup, this is a very practical way to do it.
