Description
This is the positively stunning G6196T solid top hollow body from the Gretsch Professional Collection. This is without a doubt one of the most handsome guitar's in the Gretsch lineup. This fact, matched with the legendary Country Club tone makes this one seriously impressive guitar. The tone is clear and strong with tremendous bass response that's very clean and musical and an articulate treble that's bright and snappy without a hint of "brittle" tone. The Filter'Tron pickups are a perfect match for the solid spruce top and large 17" body. The Cadillac Green finish recalls some of the most sought after Gretsch instruments of all time. The modern Country club models are instant classics that will certainly stand the test of time. This guitar will turn some heads and ears! We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call!
