Tailpieces
Bigsby® Vibrato Tailpieces
Bigsby vibrato tailpieces have been available on Gretsch guitars since the '50s. Their classic design allows guitarists to add beautiful tremolo and pitch-bending effects to single notes or full chords – while keeping the guitar perfectly in tune.

Chromatic II Tailpiece
The "Chromatic II Tailpiece" is an exclusive Gretsch feature. The tailpiece is designed to compensate for differing string gauges, thereby reducing tension and equalizing playing finger pressure. The tailpiece makes playing easier with uniform finger action.
G-Cutout Tailpiece
The G-cutout tailpiece is a simple, stamped brass design that has become somewhat of a Gretsch hallmark, and is still used on many non-vibrato equipped Gretsch guitars today.
