Full Description
View Full DescriptionSweet hollowbody resonance
This anniversary model celebrates 140 years of the Gretsch's incredible sound. Based on the original designs, the G6118T-140 is crafted from laminate maple, which produces a big body resonance that is instantly recognisable. A fair of classic F holes ensure that your sound is effortlessly projected forward. These also add a touch of elegance to the overall appearance. Sporting an exquisite platinum finish, you'll get just as much pleasure out of playing this guitar as you will playing it.
Delightful playing
Ultimate comfort and playable ease. The Gretsch G6118T's neck has been sculpted into a standard U shape, which provides you with a relaxed playability. It is the perfect choice for those who play with their thumb on the back or side of the neck. Crafted from maple and topped with ebony, the neck will allow every detail of your string vibrations to carry through to the pickups.
Ebony is one of the top tier wood choices for fingerboards, and this Gretsch demonstrates why. A luscious dark colour, springy board, and highly responsive sound. Manoeuvring around the scales is a joy, and it is sure to enhance your playing speed. Chord transitions are smooth, melodies flow, and solos glow. You deserve the kind of quality this wood offers.
Legendary tones
Unmistakable tone. As well as offering comfortable playability, the Gretsch G6118T-140 also features two High-Sensitive FilterTron pickups, located at the neck and bridge positions. 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.
