Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body '59 "Smoke"

Traditional design and great playability

In the construction of the Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer Signature, Gretsch relies on the traditional Nashville singlecut design and authentic vintage specifications. Accordingly, in addition to a laminated maple top, back and sides, the classic Gretsch trestle bracing is employed to give the Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer electric guitar a woody acoustic timbre and smooth dynamics. Furthermore, the maple neck is extremely comfortable to hold thanks to its "Vintage V" profile, while the compound-radius ebony fingerboard skilfully supports the fingering of chords in the lower registers and flowing bends.

TV Jones pickups with traditional Gretsch circuitry

The pickups on the Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body '59 "Smoke" are two TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity. As absolutely authentic replicas of the first Filter'Trons from the end of the 1950s, these pickups convince with a detailed vintage sound with lively dynamics and brilliantly sparkling treble spectrum, which skilfully captures the timbre of the hollow body construction and thus forms the perfect basis for classic rockabilly and rock'n'roll sounds. Here, the traditional Gretsch circuitry, featuring separate volume controls for each pickup and a master volume in addition to the 3-way tone switch, offers a high degree of flexibility when adjusting the tone.

Reliable Hardware

Last but not least, the Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body '59 "Smoke" features high-quality hardware that can handle even the toughest stage use with unrestricted reliability. A classic Bigsby B6CGH vibrato system serves as the tailpiece for gently shimmering embellishments of melodies or chords, while the rosewood foot of the Gretsch Adjusto-Matic bridge is fixed to the top with two pins to ensure perfect intonation. Furthermore, Gotoh locking tuners on the headstock guarantee precise and stable tuning for the Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer electric guitar, even with frequent uses of the vibrato lever.
