This is the all new Players Edition G6122T Country Gentleman from the Gretsch Professional Series! This guitar features the classic dark walnut stain finish combined with luxurious gold hardware. Currently, the G6122T is the only Players Edition model with a double cutaway body. The feature that really sets this guitar apart from the vintage spec G6122-62 model is the neck. The neck on the G6122T Players Edition joins the body all the way up at the 17th fret with much shallower heel carve. This neck joint offers greatly increased accessibility to the higher frets. If you’ve ever handled a vintage spec Gent you’ll know exactly what we mean. This neck joint, combined with the stripped down design and all the great features of the players series makes for perhaps the most playable and versatile Country Gentleman ever made, while still retaining all the Gretsch tone a character you crave.About B Stock:This is a B-Stock or factory blemished guitar. It is not a return or refurbished instrument and it is not used. Almost without exception the blemishes we see from Gretsch are nearly imperceptible in the form of minor hazing or scuffing on the finish, or very small drip in the finish near the output jack plate. These blemishes are always very very minor and can save you hundreds of dollars on your purchase! We inspect each B-Stock extensively before we ship and guarantee that you will be satisfied with your purchase with our 14 day no questions asked return policy effective the day that you receive your shipment. If you have any questions about the nature of these "B" Stock instruments please give us a call!
The goal of the Players Edition design was to create the ultimate working guitarists Gretsch that delivers classic tone and style while at the same time offering modern features to increase convenience and ergonomics. Gretsch has absolutely delivered and has set a new standard in modern arch top design. All Players Edition models feature the tried and true High Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups in the neck & bridge position. These pickups are true the original Filter’Tron design offering a huge variety of tones from clean and jazzy, to punchy twang. They handle high gain settings with style and work well with all varieties of distortion and overdrive pedals. H.S. Filter’Trons are known for their highly dynamic sound with robust and punchy lows, smooth and subdued midrange and articulated shimmering high frequencies. The Players Edition guitars also feature the modern “ML” bracing concept from Gretsch. The “ML” Bracing is a bit like the classic ’59 Trestle bracing but with a lower mass and more minimal design. The result of this is a guitar that has the sustain and feedback rejection characteristics of Trestle bracing, but with a livelier resonance lighter weight overall. Essentially, you get big hollow body tones with thinner body design without all the feedback common with a conventional hollow body design. The neck used on the Players Series is medium profile “U” shape with a 12” fretboard radius and medium jumbo frets. It’s a very comfortable neck with a great feel offering effortless playability. Another standard found on the Players series is a “treble bleed” circuit on the master volume control. This means the guitar retains the tone and presence when the volume is rolled off. With Gretsch guitars that feature traditional wiring, you’ll find a bit of tone roll-off when using the master volume control. Not so with the new Players Editions, the tone stays bright and true wherever the volume is set. The Players Edition hollow body models feature a host of other “player centric” features including a thinner 2.25” body, Shaller brand locking tuners & strap locks, pinned “rocking” bar bridge, reinforced output jack, GraphTech Tusq XL nut and No-Load tone pot. Restringing is also modernized and made much easier with the new String-Thru Bigsby design.The Players Edition represents a new era for Gretsch and they have once again set the bar for archtop electric guitar building! This is a brand new guitar that ships with the Gretsch Limited Lifetime Warranty, all factory documentation and a full setup by our professional luthiers.Specs: Weight: 7lbs 9oz (Approx)
