Perfect for jazz lovers and archtop purists, the G400B offers not only a visual statement but also an unparalleled sound experience.

The guitar is equipped with a Benedetto neck pickup, a name synonymous with ultimate archtop quality. This pickup brings out the best in the natural resonance of the G400B, with a warm, full tone and exceptional articulation.

This Gretsch was built in November 2002 at the Terada factory in Japan and is in very good condition. The guitar shows signs of wear on both the body and neck, and the screw holes on the back of the headstock indicate that the tuning machines have been replaced. Additionally, two small cracks are visible in the lacquer near the soundholes. Otherwise, the guitar is very clean and comes with a TFOA passport in a Gretsch case.

This instrument has been carefully inspected for originality, condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.
