The Gretsch G6120 Eddie Cochran Signature 6-String Semi Acoustic Guitar Western Maple Fade celebrates the legacy of rock ‘n’ roll legend Eddie Cochran with the G6120, arguably the most famous Gretsch guitar of all. The Eddie Cochran SIGNATURE Hollow Body model is based on the distinctively modified guitar that powered Cochran’s highly influential but all-too-brief career.
Premium features include the Western Maple Stain finish, a special ‘open’ internal body design and the unique combination of a DynaSonic single-coil bridge pickup and Lindy Fralin P-90 ‘dog -ear’ single-coil neck pickup, a three-ply arched Maple top with parallel bracing and double-bound f-holes, three-ply arched Maple back and three-ply Maple sides with 2-ply white and black body binding.
Other appointments include a two-piece Maple neck with 9.5” radius and single-ply binding, a polished brass nut, a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard with western-themed pearloid inlays (cactus, steer heads and fences), single-ply headstock binding, translucent plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo, ‘G’ arrow control knobs, a compensated aluminium bridge with Rosewood base and a Bigsby B6GBVF tailpiece and gold-plated Grover V98G Sta-Tite tuners. A deluxe hard-shell case is included.
