In 1962, a double round cutaway body, V-shaped tailpiece, and a zero fret was introduced, and a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece became standard, (it was optional up to this time). In 1963, the mute controls were changed to switches. In 1964, a Gretsch G logo vibrato trapeze tailpiece and oval button tuners were introduced. In 1965, offset dot fingerboard inlays above the 12th fret and an adjustable nut on the vibrato arm were introduced, In 1966, a tuning fork bridge was introduced and disc. in 1969. In 1971, this model was renumbered 7594. In 1972, a Gretsch Bigsby vibrato tailpiece was introduced. By the early 1970s, the string mute was removed and block fingerboard inlays were introduced. In 1980, the non-stereo models were discontinued, and the double round cutaway stereo model (Model 7595) was available as a special order item. A single cutaway "reissue" model was available during the 1970s that featured a single cutaway (Model 7593).
