It's probably safe to say you've never played a guitar quite like the Gretsch G5034TFT Rancher acoustic-electric. Guitarists at Sweetwater have gotten our hands on virtually every type of guitar in existence, and even we were taken by surprise by the G5034TFT Rancher. This dreadnought acoustic-electric packs a Fideli'Tron humbucking pickup for a sweet, unique tonality, and a Bigsby B70G vibrato tailpiece for exceptional expression. If you play blues, country, acoustic rock, or even folk styles, you'll be amazed at the versatility of the Gretsch G5034TFT Rancher acoustic-electric guitar.





Unique acoustic-electric tone from the Fideli'Tron humbucking pickup





Normally found on hot-rod electric guitars, the Fideli'Tron humbucker on the Gretsch G5034TFT Rancher gives you a wide tonal range and aggressive output. It can sound sweet and clean at lower volume levels, but it's ready to get nice and dirty when you turn your volume knob up and hit your amp harder. For an exceptionally rich sound when recording, try treating the pickup signal to an amplifier or amp modeling plug-in, and blend that signal in with the mic'd acoustic sound.

A piece of Gretsch guitar history





While most of the Gretsch guitars you see at Sweetwater are hollowbody electric guitars, Gretsch has been producing top-notch acoustic guitars longer than most of us have been alive. The G5034TFT Rancher pays homage to the distinctive Rancher guitars from the early '50s, retaining their iconic triangular soundhole and priced so that anyone can enjoy this piece of Gretsch history. Whether you're a performing artist or just want a great vacation guitar, you'll love the classic vibe you get from the Gretsch G5034TFT Rancher.





Express yourself with the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece





You're sure to turn some heads with the Gretsch G5034TFT Rancher, thanks in large part to the unlikely addition of a Bigsby B70G vibrato tailpiece. While Gretsch is no stranger to Bigsby tailpieces, it's not often you'll find one on a dreadnought acoustic-electric. It perfect for adding embellishments like fast flutters and slow bends to your performances. And the G5034TFT Rancher was designed from the ground up to handle the shifting tension of the vibrato tailpiece, a much better alternative than trying to add your own to your favorite guitar.
