The Exclusive 140th Anniversary Edition from Gretsch.
The guitar house founded in 1883 by Mannheim's Friedrich Gretsch in Brooklyn not only produces guitars with a high recognition value in style and sound, but also high-quality elements that are indispensable in the music world. With their timeless design and indestructible features, the semi-acoustic guitars are more than just a cult classic for blues and rock fans. To celebrate the company's 140th anniversary ("Double-Platinum Anniversary"), a limited reissue of some of Gretsch's most classic models has now been developed, which shine in style with double-platinum finishes. The G6118T-140 Limited Edition Anniversary Two Tone Pure/Stone Platinum is fully equipped with FT-67 Filter'Tron pickups, Gotho Locking tuners, classically versatile circuitry and adorns itself with premium tonewoods in a custom nitrocellulose finish and a color-matched headstock with 140th Anniversary badge.

The traditional Gretsch construction has been impressing blues and rock lovers with its full sound with strong acoustic timbre since 1958. Back and sides are made of maple laminate and connected to the high quality Adirondack spruce top by Gretsch 1959 Trestle Bracing and White Binding. In keeping with the "Double Platinum" anniversary theme, the top and headstock of the G6118T-140 shine in an expressive Pure Platinum contrasting with the Stone Platinum finish on the back and neck. This is topped off with nitrocellulose finish and anniversary plaque .
Gretsch FT-67 Filter'Tron with Treble Bleed Circut
The tonal dynamics of the Gretsch G6118T-140 Limited Edition Anniversary Two Tone Pure/Stone Platinum are enhanced by Gretsch's new FT-67 Filter'Tron humbucker pickups. Adorned with pearloid coil bodies, these versions of Gretsch's time-honored Filter'Trons elicit vintage voicing with rounded with modern tone from the semi-acoustic guitar. Matching the pickguard, the humbucker frames are finished in a Stone Platinum finish. A typical Gretsch circuit is also present, with which the tone can be adjusted through individual Jewel-Arrow Volume kn obs and Master/Tone controls. The Treble Bleed circuit also provides balance and expressive playing at any volume.
