Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition. 

The Gretsch G6120-1959LTV is a stunning vintage-style hollowbody that delivers classic Gretsch tone with exceptional clarity and character. Its laminated maple construction and trestle bracing provide a lively, resonant voice with tight lows, crisp highs, and impressive feedback control. The TV Jones Filter’Tron pickups offer articulate, chimey tones with plenty of punch and definition, perfect for everything from clean rhythms to driven leads. A comfortable vintage “V” neck and ebony fingerboard create a smooth, confident playing feel. Finished in gloss nitro with iconic appointments and a Bigsby vibrato, it carries a timeless look and feel that captures the spirit of a true classic!
