Hollowbody with ML Bracing
For the 2.5" deep resonance body of the G6120TG Nashville Gretsch uses laminated maple wood and the ML bracing, which connects top and back via two columns. Accordingly, the guitar convinces with a full and open sound without being prone to excessive feedback at higher volumes. The slightly shortened 625 mm scale length and the pleasantly slim standard U neck profile of the glued maple neck also promise buttery smooth playing characteristics on the 22 fret ebony fingerboard. In addition to traditional thumbnail inlays, practical Luminlay side dots are used, which guarantee the safe hitting of notes even on dark stages.
FT-67 Filter'Trons as well as the flexible circuitry with Treble Bleed on the Master Volume and No-Load Tone control provide brilliant sounds.
FT-67 Filter'Trons with flexible circuitry
The electrical tone conversion of the G6120TG Players Edition Nashville is handled by two FT-67 Filter'Tron pickups from Gretsch. Designed to bring the authentic Gretsch vintage sound to modern players, the powerful pickups deliver a rounded tone with brilliant chime in the highs and full bass that responds dynamically to playing style and excels in the mix. In addition to separate volume controls for each pickup, there is also the typical Gretsch master volume, whose treble bleed circuit prevents sound loss when the volume is turned down. The No-Load Tone pot with "Squeezebox" paper-in-oil capacitor promises not only smooth Treble roll-offs. With the knob turned all the way up, the EQ is completely bypassed, providing a particularly direct sound with full frequency range.
Gold-plated Gotoh Locking Tuners promise a stable and exact tuning of the electric guitar.
Modern hardware equipment
Last but not least, the G6120TG Players Edition Nashville Azure Metallic hollow-body guitar comes with a reliable hardware setup that combines modern functionality with a classic look. Serving as the tailpiece is a Bigsby B6GP String-Thru Vibrato Tailpiece, which promises the popular shimmering pitch modulations, and with string routing through the axle, makes every string change a breeze. The classic Gretscch Adjust-Matic bridge rests on an ebony base that is secured with two pins to prevent slippage, promising perfect intonation every time. At the headstock of the electric guitar Gotoh locking tuners ensure for stable and precise tuning, even when frequently reaching for the vibrato lever.
