Modern Synchromatics
In 1999 the existence of the budget Synchromatic line was one of the biggest mysteries of the modern Gretsch era. The revered Synchromatic name, traditionally reserved for high-end acoustic archtops, was plastered across a dizzying array of budget-priced, Korean-made guitars. Even more baffling, the new Synchros were near-clones of the Electromatic and Historic lines introduced at the same time.
Nobody — not even Gretsch — could keep track of all the overlapping models, and the short-lived Synchromatic series was merged into a single (and much-improved) Electromatic line-up in 2003.
