| Gretsch G6118T-125 125th Anniversary w/ TV Jones® Pickups - Jaguar Tan
This is a pre-order...not expected until April
In celebration of the 125th anniversary of Gretsch® and a legacy that has lasted five decades, the tradition of the “anniversary” model continues. To commemorate this historic event, a very special instrument was created that is sure to be an instant classic. Combining time-tested Gretsch elements from the past with new features, the 125th Anniversary model has an ultra-rare Jaguar Tan top, with metallic gold back and sides. The body is made of three-play laminated maple for the utmost resonance and tone.
Two key individuals in the Gretsch story recently designed a new scalloped bracing specifically voiced for Gretsch guitars. The new “ML” bracing—which stands for Gretsch guitar designers Masao Terada and Mike Lewis—makes its debut on the 125th “Annie.” This construction synchronizes the vibration of the top and back, with increased acoustical openness in tone. Accentuating the tone of the new ML bracing are a pair of TV Jones® Power’Tron™ pickups, pinned rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and a Bigsby® B6C vibrato tailpiece. Happy Anniversary indeed!
