Gretsch G6118TLH-LTV 130th Anniversary Jr. Black left-handed
Product no: 9000-0005-2597 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Gretsch has marked the occasion of its 130th anniversary by issuing a limited number of special hollow-body guitars. This semi-acoustic Gretsch G6118TLH-LTV 130th Anniversary Jr. (Black), a left-handed edition of the G6118T-LTV, features a body with an arched top and back and a lavish yet durable gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Its top is black, while its sides and back have a sumptuous gold colour.

Details of the G6118TLH-LTV

Both the body and the three-piece neck of the Gretsch G6118TLH-LTV are made of maple, while the bridge base and fingerboard are fashioned from ebony. The fingerboard is fitted with inlaid Thumbnail-style position markers, and the guitar also features Sperzel locking tuners, an Adjusto-Matic bridge and vintage-style frets. A stylish Bigsby B3CB tailpiece with tremolo arm is the icing on the cake.

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!
