The Story

1959 Country Club Vintage Select G6196T-59GE Cadillac Green

Here we have a G6196T-59GE from the Gretsch Vintage Select Series of instruments. This guitar gives you that classic Gretsch look with a fine attention to period-correct details and high quality components such as TV Jones pickups, bone nuts, and the new Gretsch 'Squeezebox' paper in oil capacitors for a super smooth vintage high end. The G6196T-59GE takes us back to one of the first custom color Gretschs ever made - and one of our favorite finishes, period: Cadillac Green. The 1959 Country Club is a classic instrument made with a laminated maple body, 1959 style trestle bracing for a warm and balanced tone, and the pinned Space Control bridge allows for adjustable string spacing. Add in the Bigsby tailpiece and this is an instrument you won't want to put down!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
