Description Brand: Gretsch String Configuration: 6 String Model: 6185 Exact Year: 1952 Body Type: Semi-Hollow Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Dexterity: Right-Handed
With its hot DeArmond Dynasonic pickup, full-depth 16” archtop body and killer looks, this 6185 Electromatic plays beautifully. Plugged into a low-wattage tube amp the guitar has that thick and dark, rumbly vintage rock’n’roll tone that defines the rockabilly genre. It’s also in just remarkable condition. The guitar looks gorgeous and has very little playwear; there are some light pick scratches on the instrument’s top and a small crack under the tuning machine. The frets are in good condition. Not original Kluson arrowhead tuners, original nut, pickguard, bridge, tailpiece, and control knobs. Serial #6524.
The frets are level, and the action is easy and fast. Deep, round neck profile with a width at the nut 1-11/16”. Scale is 24.6” scale length.
It comes with a beautiful original hardshell case.
