Gretsch G6120SSLVO SETZER NV Vintage Orange Lacquer
Product no: 9000-0015-8220 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Although Brian Setzer is an avid Gretsch collector, he's not known for taking it easy on his guitars. To make them more suitable for his explosive playing style and his vehement use of the Bigsby vibrato unit, he often modifies his instruments. Based on the legendary G6120 Chet Atkins, the G6120SSLVO Setzer NV features a few modifications. Two feisty TV Jones Humbuckers have replaced the original pickups, for instance, and the guitar is fitted with Sperzel Locking Tuners to ensure a stable tuning.

Construction

Like the original G6120, this Brian Setzer Signature has a body made of 3-ply maple. A Vintage Orange Lacquer finish lends an authentic look to the G6120SSLVO. Gretsch's patented 1959 trestle bracing reduces the chance of feedback, even at high volumes. The guitar's maple neck has a considerable scale length of 24.6 inches and is fitted with an ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and characteristic thumbnail position markers. Naturally, this Gretsch is equipped with an original Bigsby vibrato unit.

Setzer Nashville Signature

The Brian Setzer Signature Nashville series still boasts the tone controls of the original G6120 model, but the Filter'Tron pickups have been replaced by two feisty TV Jones Humbuckers. Not only the hardware but the guitars' looks have been slightly modified too. Two of the three tone controls, for instance, have been made to look like dice. Like the original G6120, the G6120SSLVO has a headstock with a horseshoe inlay. Setzer's name makes a discrete appearance on the truss rod cover, and the back of the guitar's headstock bears his signature.

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!
