We've always loved the unique look of the 6120 in black versus the more common orange stain.
 Duane's original is a 1957 Gretsch 6120 and this new signature model is a wonderful recreation of that guitar with just a few tweaks and mods. It's got a period correct 2.875" thick body and brass nut. A unique aspect of this guitar is the '59 style trestle bracing. Typically, on a '57 spec 6120 you'll see parallel tone bar bracing. So if you're after the '57 style and sound with the added stability and sustain of Trestle bracing, then this might be the perfect guitar for you! The G6120-DE recreates the look sound and feel of a 1957 6120 but with modern dependability and durability. The "Hump-Block" inlay was a feature unique to 1957 ere Gretsch guitars. The tone of this guitar is clear and strong with tremendous bass response that's very clean and musical and an articulate treble that's bright and snappy without a hint of "brittle" tone. This guitar is pure Gretsch quality with top notch fretwork and neck angle providing the perfect playability that the Gretsch Professional Collection is known for. If you're looking for truly classic looks and sound you must try this guitar! This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call! About the Guitar (from Gretsch.com)
