GRETSCH
ELECTRIC: ELECTROMATIC/SYNCHROMATIC COLLECTION SERIES
Value line of guitars launched in 2000. Early instruments will have the headstocks bear the Synchromatic logo and NOT Gretsch. The Gretsch logo is on the truss rod covers. In 2002/03, the value line was changed to the Electromatic Series. None of the model changed drastically so there is no difference in value between the two. Electromatic models will have Grestch horizontal across the headstock with Electromatic below it vertically.
