Gretsch G6118T-135 LTD 135th Anniversary with Bigsby

Gretsch G6118T-135 LTD 135th Anniversary with Bigsby Overview

Classic looks and a unique tone are just two of many indisputable qualities that Gretsch have become renowned for during their 135 year history, and having more than its fair share of both, the Gretsch G6118T-135 certainly pays tribute to this incredible legacy.

Highlighting the very best of Gretsch craftmanship, this celebratory model provides the opportunity to own a special piece of Gretsch history. The 16" hollow 3-ply Maple body - with ’59 style trestle bracing - produces perfect tone balance, and minimises the likelihood of feedback, while the three piece Maple neck with its standard “U” shape, provides a welcoming and comfortable grip behind the Ebony fretboard. Locking Gotoh machine heads allow precise and highly stable tuning, and a rocking bar bridge over a pinned Ebony base ensures that no loss of tone occurs during transfer to the body. Pickups are a versatile pair of highly sensitive Filter’Tron pickups; fluid jazz tones when played clean, edgy blues with a touch of overdrive, and classic grit and bite when taken all the way to 10 - Filter’Trons can do it all. A string-thru Bigsby B6CP tailpiece completes the classic Gretsch performance, and aesthetic.
