General
The Gretsch Tennessean is a legendary hollow-body model made famous by some of the world's most iconic guitarists. This Professional Collection edition combines low-key elegance with player-focussed perks and a no-nonsense build for that classic Gretsch sound and feel. As well as a rosewood fretboard finished with rounded edges and Luminlay side dots, you're looking at an Adjusto-Matic bridge and a string-thru Bigsby B6CP tailpiece that team up to pave the way for subtle vibrato effects. This made-in-Japan model also comes wrapped up in a Gretsch G6241 Deluxe Hardshell Case.
Filter'Tron Pickups
Armed with a pair of PRO-FT Filter'Tron pickups, the Professional Collection Tennessean effortlessly delivers classic Gretsch-grade tone, fusing the sparkle and clarity of a single-coil with the warmth and power of a humbucker. The fitted master volume control has a built-in treble bleed circuit that retains sonic clarity when you turn the volume down, while the tone pot has a no-load circuit that completely shuts it down when turned all the way up to ten, resulting in more transparent tone with fully retained trebles. From rockabilly and country to classic rock and jazz, this sublime semi-acoustic handles it all.

Wrote the following about Gretsch Professional Collection Tennessean Hollow Body RW Havana Burst with G6241 Deluxe Hardshell Case
The 30 day no quibble returns policy meant that I had peace of mind in that I could return the guitar free of charge, had I not liked or got on with it, however…
The guitar itself is stunning, the sunburst on my guitar is darker and not as orange as in the stock photographs.
Before buying the guitar I wasn’t too sure about the gold pickup rings and pick guard (when the main hardware is chrome) thinking I might swap them out for silver ones but in the flesh, and with the darker sunburst the gold actually works rather well.
I was looking for a Gretsch after regretting selling a previous one (a G6118T-LTV 125th Anniversary) just after lockdown - I love the Gretsch sound and the Annie had it in spades, this guitar had a lot to live up to! I wasn’t disappointed, the new PRO-FT filtertron pickups give me the sound I was hoping for. As with the Annie, I find it an easy guitar to play (although I will get the action lowered slightly at some point), the fingerboard is different being rosewood and bound, the Annie had an ebony fingerboard which I think I preferred, but it’s not enough to put me off.
The build quality is second to none as it is with all of the Pro Series Gretsch models.
I’m over the moon with this guitar and look forward to putting it through its paces in the near future!
