Description
The G6118T-140 is a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition guitar that honors Gretsch's 140th anniversary, and it's the perfect blend of classic and contemporary. From its FT-67 Filter'Tron pickups to its gorgeous Two-Tone Platinum finish, this model takes everything Gretsch fans know and love and enhances it. If you're a collector or a working professional seeking a premium Japanese-made hollow-body with a killer sound and style, this Gretsch is an excellent choice.
The G6118T-140 features a resonant laminated maple body reinforced with an innovative "ML" bracing, giving it a massive sound with punchy mids and chiming highs. Its Standard "U" shaped maple neck has a solid, chunky feel, and its 12" radius ebony fingerboard is great for chording and soloing alike. Not only does it sound and play remarkably well, but its Gotoh locking tuners and Adjusto-Matic bridge give it exceptional intonation and tuning stability, even when using the Bigsby B6CP tailpiece to perform deep bends and vibrato.
Gretsch equipped the G6118T-140 with a pair of FT-67 Filter'Tron humbuckers that deliver pristine highs, glassy mids, and robust lows, allowing it to blend seamlessly with other instruments. Players looking for a well-rounded workhorse will also appreciate this model's individual pickup volume controls, master no-load tone knob, and master volume control with a treble bleed circuit, all of which give it tons of tonal versatility.
Blending timeless features with flashy aesthetics, the Gretsch G6118T-140 is fantastic for players seeking an incredible hollow-body guitar that'll stand out on stage.
