The Anniversary series launched in 1958, replacing the earlier Streamliner series. It featured a similar single cutaway body, and stripped down aesthetics, but upgraded the Streamliner's DeArmond single coil for Gretsch's Filter'Tron humbucker. The "Single" Anniversary was also available as a "Double", featuring two pickups. In 1960, the Filter'Trons were replaced with Hi-Lo'Tron single coil pickups.
