Why did Chet leave Gretsch?
Chet left for Gibson around 1980. Gretsch had many quality problems back in the seventies which was one reason Chet left them. They where great looking but had things that needed correcting. The frets where off some times and they always had internal vibrations. The biggest reason Chet left was because of the CE classic which he was playing at the time. He was playing the prototype made by Haskell Haille and he couldn’t get Gretsch interested in it. He knew it was a great idea so between that and quality control that moved him to go to Gibson. [return to top] The Gibson CE Chet had an idea of making a solid body classical guitar and with a neck provided by Haskell Haille Chet added a board and a Baldwin piano pickup. The experiment worked. Working with Haskell Haille Chets concept was made into a prototype model and Chet asked Gretsch to pick up on the idea. They didnt want to do it. This was right around the time Chet left Gretsch.
