What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A majority of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required an adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.

You want a guitar that feels as good as it sounds, right? This Gretsch G6120TGQM-56 isn't just a guitar; it's an experience. From the moment you pick it up, you'll feel the quality of its laminated quilt maple body and smooth, aged white binding. And the sound? Oh man, the sound! Those TV Jones T-Armond pickups deliver that classic, twangy Gretsch goodness with incredible high fidelity. Whether you're after a clean, spanky tone or a gritty rockabilly growl, this guitar's got you covered. With the precision of Gotoh locking tuners and that incredibly stable Ebony-Based "Rocking" Bar bridge, you'll stay in tune no matter how hard you play. Trust me, at just 7.8 lbs and with that comfy maple neck and ebony fretboard, you won't want to put this beauty down.
