Gretsch Jack Antonoff’s limited-edition Princess Antonoff signature model has just been announced and looks like an affordable, versatile and stylish guitar.

Jack Antonoff

Jack Antonoff just worked with Gretsch to his new signature Princess Antonov Model. Antonoff is a renowned songwriter, producer and musician.

With ten Grammy Awards, including three consecutive Producer of the Year awards, he has worked with artists such as Taylor Swift, The 1975, And Saint Vincent. In addition to his production work, Antonoff enjoyed success in bands such as Fun And Grandstands.

Princess Antonov

The Limited Edition Jack Antonoff Signature CVT is a reimagined version of his beloved Gretsch Princess. This guitar has something to boast about specially wound FideliSonic single coil pickupsand a unique control layout.

It has one solid alder Body paired with a screwed maple 25.5″ scale neck with a satin finish and a contoured joint. This gives the model a distinct Fender flavor that is slightly different from a standard Gretsch. However, Fender owns the brand, so it all makes sense.

The 7.25″ radius bound rosewood Has fingerboard 22 medium jumbo fretsand mother-of-pearl neoclassical miniature inlays and it has a Bone nut. This should give it a more vintage feel, but with modern playability due to the larger frets.

FideliSonic

Equipped with Alnico 5 magnetsThe specially wound FideliSonic single-coil pickups produce a powerful sound that is both punchy and clear.

A custom control layout with master volume, master tone, rhythm/lead switch, thumbwheel controls, etc short-term kill switchand a three-position pickup selector switch. This versatile setup allows players to easily select a wide range of sounds and manipulate them dramatically.

Floating

The guitar is equipped with one Vintage style floating tremolo tailpiece with locking knob and a floating bridge. Combined with vintage-style tuners, it should feel a bit like a Fender offset model (Jazzmaster or Jaguar) in that it produces a subtle vibrato rather than a full dive when used.

All hardware is there nickel and works well with that Pickguard and truss rod cover made of gold plexiglass against the Vintage white Finish and the matching painted headstock.

Overall a great looking guitar and a very affordable one too.

Official MSRP – $699.99
