The G6118T-140: Classic Rich Tone Backed Up By a Bigger Dynamic Range

Featuring a solid Adirondack red spruce top, this Professional Collection anniversary model shapes a rich acoustic foundation sound alongside masses of sonic nuance thanks to its large dynamic range. Notes as well as chords pack satisfying sustain lent by ML bracing, while the set-in maple neck, the ebony fretboard and the laminated body chime in with those all-important sparkling trebles and properly fleshed-out lows.

In the case of the G6118T-140 LTD, that great Gretsch sound stems from a fresh pair of FT-67 Filter’Tron pickups which have been mounted along with four pots for dialling in vintage or more modern sound as needed. In addition to boosting natural sustain, the ML-style bracing also helps to counter unwanted feedback, while the Bigsby B6CP String-Thru bridge and Gotoh locking tuners work together to support refined vibratos and ensure unwavering tuning stability.
