DISC Gretsch G6120TFM Players Edition Nashville Bigsby, Orange Stain

Full Description

Laminated Flame Maple Body

The G6120TFM stays true to its iconic design and aesthetics, and is manufactured with a hollow body from laminated flame maple. This stunning choice of wood provides the distinctive flame grain that many top end guitars and violins use. Players can benefit from a rich articulate tone, as well as crisp overtones with the laminated flame maple. Its hollow body construction features ML bracing which is specifically voiced to provide full hollow body tones from the thinner, 2.25” body. This hollow body design provides a lightweight guitar that can be played for longer, compared to a solid body. A pair of classic 'F' sound holes are also featured on the stunning flame maple soundboard, which allows the natural sound to be projected acoustically. These elegantly cut holes, also provide a classic look that many guitarists associate with the 1950s era.

Comfortable Neck Profile

As well as as offering a comfortable body shape, this Players Edition guitar also features a standard “U”-shaped maple neck which bears a 12”-radius for the ultimate comfort. In addition, an ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets delivers a memorable playing experience that works with any fret-hand style. This ebony fingerboard is adorned with pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, which not only provide an elegant look, but also make it easy to see the frets.

High Sensitive Filter'Tron Pickups

The G6120TFM Players Edition is equipped with two high sensitive Filter'Tron humbucking pickups, located in the bridge and neck position. These deliver a pristine high end, glassy midrange , robust low end and balanced harmonics for tone that blends seamlessly with other instruments. Along with offering this superb tone, these type of pickups also filter out undesirable hum, neon noises, crackle and electrical disturbance that is commonly associated with single-coil pickups. Controlling these pickups is easy with the "G"-Arrow control knobs, that offer independent volume, and a master tone, as well as a 3-position toggle switch for tonal variations.

GraphTech Tusq XL Nut

The G6120TFM Players Edition includes a GraphTech Tusq which is impregnated with PTFT, providing a slippy substance which controls the amount of grip that the nut has on the strings. A Tusq nut delivers a rich tone, along with hidden harmonics by transferring your strings vibrations efficiently to the guitar.

Rocking Bar Bridge

The Rocking bar bridge is a long time favourite amongst Gretsch enthusiasts due to it delivering a smooth tone with enhanced sustain. This well-known bridge allows the bar to smoothly rock back and forth when used in conjunction with the Bigsby tailpiece.

String-Through Bigsby Tailpiece

Like many model by Gretsch, the famous Bigsby tailpiece is a common feature. Its iconic design allows players to add pitch-bending effects to their tone, whilst maintaining an accurate tuning. In addition, its string-through design provides a quick and easy string change as well as providing increased vibration transfer for enhanced sustain.

Classic Aesthetics

In addition to providing you with uncompromising sounds, the Gretsch G6120TFM Players Edition Nashville includes a range of features that are instantly recognisable as Gretsch. These features include gold Schaller locking tuning machines, gold “G Arrow” control knobs, classic F Holes, gloss urethane finish and gold vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo. As well as offering you a professional quality guitar, you will also receive a deluxe hardshell case for safely transporting you beloved Gretsch.
