Description
Gretsch has just announced their brazen new G6131-Malcom Young Signature model. A fierce sounding guitar that lives up to Malcom Young's nickname for it -- "The Beast." With it's high-output Power'Tron Pickup and chambered mahogany body, this guitar will bellow out all the in-your-face-rock riffs you can throw it's way. This is one guitar you need to hear, to believe.
From Gretsch:
Gretsch honors the late Malcolm Young, whose rock-solid rhythm guitar swagger and songwriting provided the unshakeable foundation for monumental rock titans AC/DC. The G6131-MY pays homage to Young's famously battle-hardened Gretsch Jet™. Nicknamed "The Beast," Malcolm certainly made the instrument his own, not least by removing two of the three pickups, stripping away the fnish, and pounding out some of the hardest and most memorable rhythms the world has heard.
This model features the essential hallmarks of one of rock's most iconic instruments including "DIY" pickup routes with simulated screw holes, chrome switch plugs, Space-Control™ bridge with ebony base and '60s-style tailpiece. Open-cavity thunder roars from the thin-skin satin fnished chambered mahogany body and is magnifed by a high-output TV Jones Power'Tron pickup.
Malcolm Young's fiery rock 'n' roll spirit lives on through AC/DC's enduringly timeless music, and it is Gretsch's great privilege to pay ftting tribute to him with a fnely crafted model bearing his name.
