Gretsch G6118T-LTV 130th Anniversary Jr. Black
Product no: 9000-0005-2596 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The G6118T-LTV 130th Anniversary Jr. (Black) is a splendid new addition to Gretsch's Professional Collection. Featuring a gorgeous black finish with special Metallic Gold sides and back, this hollow-body guitar has been issued to mark the 130th anniversary of the famous Gretsch brand. The semi-acoustic model is supplied with a deluxe case and features a lavish yet durable nitrocellulose gloss lacquer finish.

The construction of the G6118T-LTV

Both arched top and back of the Gretsch G6118T-LTV 130th Anniversary Jr. are made of maple, as are the sides and the neck of the guitar. The base of the bridge and the fingerboard have been fashioned from ebony, and the latter has been fitted with Neo-Classic Thumbnail position markers. Additionally, the exclusive professional hollow-body instrument is equipped with a gold-coloured pickguard and an attractive Bigsby tailpiece with tremolo arm.

TV Jones Power'Tron pickups

The two TV Jones Power'Tron pickups of the G6118T-LTV are modelled after the TV Jones Filter'Tron Classic, but pack more power in the mid range and provide a higher output. They give your bass strings a deep, clear twang and add a richness to your trebles. The sound of these TV Jones Power'Tron pickups is reminiscent of the 1950 PAF Humbucker, but has the pervasiveness of a Filter'Tron - in short, a sound worthy of a Gretsch guitar!

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
