The Story

Used 1965 6120 Electric Guitar Orange

Here in excellent condition is a vintage 1965 Gretsch 6120 guitar. It's been very well maintained, with a neck that's straight and stable and a body with little signs of wear - no neck reset on this one! Plenty of rockabilly vibe going on here. The leather padding for the instruments back is in place and in great shape. As for that infamous Gretsch binding that normally eats itself over the years, the binding here is aged normally and intact around the guitar's body and neck. The guitar features some very nice-sounding FilterTron pickups (all electronics work fine), the original bar bridge and factory Bigsby tailpiece, and the original mute which has aged and deteriorated. The original frets have plenty of life left in them, too. The guitar is currently strung with flatwounds and plays wonderfully.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
