Gretsch G6120SSL Brian Setzer Nashville (Orange Lacquer) Overview
Based on the classic Gretsch G6120 Chet Atkins model, the G6120SSL Brian Setzer Nashville features modifications inkeeping with Seltzer's own specifications; two bold TV Jones® Brian Setzer Signature humbuckers have replaced the original pickups, two white "dice" control knobs have replaced the traditional arrow design, and tuning stability has been ensured with Schaller® locking tuners.
Much of the specification remains pure G6120 however; a body made of laminated Flame Maple, with Gretsch's patented 1959 trestle bracing to controls the feedback hollow bodied guitars can be so prone to. A 24.6" scale length for the superbly playable "U" shaped Maple neck and Ebony fingerboard combination, 22 frets with Neo-Classic™ "Thumbnail" inlays reaching to a "Horseshoe" inlayed headstock, and the essential Bigsby® vibrato tailpiece - in this case a reliable B6CB model. Other features include Schaller® strap locks, pinned Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, nickel hardware, Delrin® nut, and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
What Gretsch say:
Gretsch® Brian Setzer Nashville models are built to Brian's exacting specs and modeled on the guitars in his killer vintage collection. The trestle bracing matches that of Setzer's favorite '59, giving it a more solid feel and tons of sustain.
Standard features include dual TV Jones® Brian Setzer "Signature" humbucking pickups, Schaller® locking tuners and strap locks, pinned Adjusto-Matic bridge, nickel hardware and Bigsby® B6CB vibrato tailpiece.
