General
This Blue Harbor 2-Tone beauty has been modelled after the modified Gretsch G6120 of Brian Setzer, rockabilly legend and leader of the Stray Cats and the Brian Setzer Orchestra. The guitar's tone controls have been simplified, the pickups have been replaced by two feisty TV Jones Humbuckers, and your instrument keeps tune even when you use the Bigsby tremolo. In short, the G6120SH STZR is a real Hot Rod rock machine that's built for speed. It combines classic looks with modern playing comfort, and the Harbor Blue 2Tone finish really brings out the grain of the maple top.
Construction
Like the original G6120, the Brian Setzer Signature has a body made of 3-ply laminated maple, which in this case is finished with a distinctive Blue Harbor gloss lacquer. Gretsch's patented 1959 trestle bracing reduces the chance of feedback, even at a high volume. The guitar's maple neck has a sizeable scale length of 24.6 inches and is fitted with an ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and characteristic thumbnail position markers. Two TV Jones Humbuckers take care of your sound and an original Bigsby tremolo bridge is the icing on the cake.
Brian Setzer Signature
Brian Setzer modified his own Gretsch G6120 so it would suit his playing style to a tee. Many of those modifications can also be found on his signature models. The complicated tone controls of the original guitar, for instance, have been replaced by a single knob. As Brian is a big fan of his Bigsby tremolo, the G6120SH STZR is equipped with a high-grade Delrin string nut and Sperzal Locking tuners. Although the bridge of the original was floating - the G6120SH STZR's bridge is fitted with two pins.
