General

Brian Setzer's signature guitars are faithful reproductions of the modified Gretsches from his own impressive collection. The Nashville series has been modelled after the legendary Gretsch G6120. As opposed to the Hot Rod series, the Nashville guitars still have the original tone control circuit. The hardware has been adjusted, however, so the guitars can endure Setzer's explosive playing technique without falling out of tune. The bridge, for instance, has been fixed to the body with two wooden pins, and the guitars are fitted with Sperzel locking tuners.

Construction

Like the original G6120, this Brian Setzer Signature has a body made of 3-ply maple. This black edition has a simple finish that lends the guitar a stylish look. Gretsch's patented 1959 trestle bracing reduces the chance of feedback, even at high volumes while 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Signature Nashville series still boasts the tone controls of the original G6120 model, but the Filter'Tron pickups have been replaced by two feisty TV Jones Humbuckers.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 G6120SSU SETZER NV 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.
