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. For the 140th anniversary ("Double-Platinum Anniversary") of the company, a limited reissue of some of the most classic Gretsch models has now been developed, which shine in style in double-platinum finishes. The GRETSCH G6136T-140
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 G6136T-140 Falcon shine in an expressive Stone Platinum contrasting with the Pure Platinum finish on the back and neck. This is topped off with nitrocellulose finish and anniversary plaque.
The tonal dynamics of the Gretsch G6136T-140
Reliable hardware is a must for any Gretsch guitar, which of course can be found on the 140th Double-Platinum Anniversary version. Six strings run through a Traditional Bigsby B6CP string-thru vibrato tailpiece over an Adjusto-Matic bridge with ebony base. The overlying ebony fretboard features 22 medium jumbo frets with pearloid hump block inlays spread across them. For stable tuning, Grover Imperial locking tuners are located on the headstock.
