Up for sale, a 2004 Gretsch Anniversary model 6118T in excellent condition and in perfect working order. From our personal collection here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, this Anniversary has been upgraded with a pair of TV Jones Filter'Trons (Classic Plus in the bridge and Classic at the neck) as well as a vintage lightweight aluminum Bigsby bridge and Waverly tuning machines. These upgrades are worth $400+, and the result is a very acoustically dynamic and warm sounding instrument which really shines when plugged in. There's a fullness, signature twang, and distinct midrange quality that defines the traditional Gretsch tonal palette, and this Anniversary delivers everything from shimmering top end snap to smooth, mellow tones with the neck pickup engaged (or aid of the three-way tone switch). Weighing in at 7lbs 6oz, this Gretsch is easy on the back too, and we've just had it professionally setup here at our shop with fresh 11-50 strings and comfortable action.The neck has a medium C shaped profile that borders on the slimmer side of things, with fairly slight shoulders and an effortless feel. The slab ebony fretboard features neo-classic thumbnail inlays and fretwire that has a bit more height and roundness than you'd expect on a vintage Gretsch. These frets play cleanly up the neck with near perfectly rounded crowns and their original factory height. There is very faint wear on frets 1-3 beneath the plain strings, but even this modest playwear is very minimal. The nut has been upgraded to a hand carved piece of bone which improves the overall sustain and string to string balance of the instrument, measuring 1 11/16" in width. On the headstock, the upgraded Waverly tuners hold pitch extremely well and turn smoothly.All of the electronics work as they should, and the upgraded TV Jones pickups add a liveliness and detail not heard with the stock Filter'Trons. The pickups feature independent Volume controls as well as a Master Volume on the treble side body horn and three-way Tone and pickup selector switches on the bass side upper bout. The chrome hardware is in great shape on the pickup covers and Bigsby B6 vibrato unit, and the vintage aluminum Bigsby bridge adds a certain clarity and top end snap that really works well with the pickups. The USA-made Bigsby also works very smoothly for surfy warbles and dives too. The Gretsch model/serial label is visible through the bass side F hole, matching the details noted on the headstock. Cosmetically, the guitar is a very clean and well cared for example, with only a couple extremely faint finish scratches in the clear coat on the back of the instrument, and no serious wear of any kind.The original hardshell case is included, along with the stock Space Control bridge.Please check out our shop "Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar" on the web, and feel free to call us directly with any questions at 206.399.8518.Shipping in the continental USA will be $65, fully insured and shipped via FedEx Ground.
