General
Although Brian Setzer is an avid Gretsch collector and is not known for taking it easy on his guitars. To make them more suitable for his explosive playing style and his intense use of the Bigsby vibrato unit, he often modifies his instruments. Of course, Brian Setzer's signature models have been modelled after these modified guitars. Based on the legendary G6120 Chet Atkins, the G6120SSL Setzer NV features a few modifications. Two feisty TV Jones Humbuckers have replaced the original pickups, for instance, and the guitar is fitted with Sperzel Locking Tuners to ensure a stable tuning.
Construction
Like the original G6120, this Brian Setzer Signature has a body made of 3-ply maple. The guitar's top has a wonderful grain and an Orange Flame LQ finish. Gretsch's patented 1959 trestle bracing reduces the chance of feedback, even at high volumes. 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. Naturally, this Gretsch is equipped with an original Bigsby vibrato unit.
Setzer Nashville Signature
The Brian Setzer Signature Nashville series still boasts the tone controls of the original G6120 model, but the Filter'Tron pickups have been replaced by two feisty TV Jones Humbuckers. Not only the hardware, but the guitars' looks have been slightly modified too. Two of the three tone controls, for instance, have been made to look like dice. Like the original G6120, the G6120SSL Setzer NV Orange Flame LQ WC has a headstock with a horseshoe inlay. Setzer's name makes a discrete appearance on the truss rod cover, and the back of the guitar's headstock bears his signature.
