Gretsch Custom Shop Team
“It was as simple as looking around the shop and saying something like ‘We ought to build some things here,’” Lewis said.
Lewis enlisted Fleming and Fender’s George Blanda to craft a pair of custom U.S.-made Gretsch models to display at the January 2004 NAMM show. The results debuted in 2004 under the banner of the “Gretsch U.S. Custom Shop,” with two stunning new limited-edition versions of original-era classics—the G6136CST White Falcon and G6120WCST Nashville Western.
Artists honored with special models later included Brian Setzer, Chet Atkins, and Billy Zoom.
