Full Description
View Full DescriptionPerfect tone
The G6136T-140 comes designed with a pair of Filter'Tron pickups, located at the bridge and neck of the guitar. This powerful pair complements the guitar's chambered body resonance and delivers a balanced and transparent tone, eliminating any undesirable hum that is often associated with single-coil pickups.
Like many guitars by Gretsch, the G6136T features a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece which offers a smooth tremolo system to create classic sounding pitch bend, providing evenly spread movement across all strings. This can be used to create subtle movements in chords, adding extra depth and texture to your sound. Its incredible voicing also features tones from the hollowbody construction. Thanks to the “F” sound holes, a natural acoustic projection and resonant sound is produced.
Sculpted for perfection
Every detail of this guitar has been carefully thought out to ensure you receive the best playing experience possible. Crafted from maple, the body provides you with comfort as well as an excellent tone, resonance, and pleasing aesthetics. The body also features a hollow construction with two “F” holes that offer excellent tonality and a complex resonance.
Attached is a maple neck, which also enhances the guitar’s overall sound with its balanced and warm voicing. The wood also provides a smooth base for your hand to glide down for a fast and articulate performance. Sat on top of the neck is an ebony fingerboard adorned with twenty-two frets. This tops off your comfort thanks to its natural and smooth feel, providing luxury under your fingers. Each guitar is meticulously crafted from the finest materials to provide you with an instrument worthy of a lifetime of music making. This model features a single cutaway profile, which provides you with better access to the upper frets.
Intricate details
The Gretsch G6136T features a bone nut, which maintains its authentic appearance. The main purpose of using a real bone nut compared to modern materials is that bone offers excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self-lubricates and helps you stay in tune for longer.
