Description

Edit description

Step into the limelight with the Gretsch G6120SHATV Brian Setzer Hot Rod Electric Guitar, a masterfully crafted instrument designed to capture the essence of rockabilly, jazz, and rock. This semi-hollowbody electric guitar is a testament to Brian Setzer's legacy and his quest for the perfect tone. Featuring a pair of TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature Filter'Tron pickups, this guitar delivers a broad sonic palette, from shimmering cleans to gritty overdriven tones, without ever needing to adjust your amp settings.

The G6120SHATV boasts a sleek, stripped-down control set that doesn't sacrifice performance. Its all-maple body is both light and resonant, offering a vintage vibe with modern playability. The maple neck, combined with a rosewood fingerboard, provides a smooth playing experience, whether you're executing fast lead runs or complex chord progressions. The Bigsby B6 vibrato tailpiece adds fluid vibrato effects, while the Adjusto-Matic bridge and Gotoh locking tuners ensure your tuning stays rock-solid.

Aesthetically, the guitar pays homage to its roots with period-correct details like the '59 headstock shape and a classic pickguard. It's not just about looks; the trestle bracing within the single-cutaway body enhances sustain and resonance, making this guitar as powerful as it is beautiful. Whether on stage or in the studio, the Gretsch G6120SHATV is your ticket to Setzer's iconic sound.

Lightweight and resonant laminate maple body
Dual TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature Filter'Tron pickups
