Gretsch G6120SSULH Brian Setzer Nashville Orange (Left-Handed)

General

This left-handed Brian Setzer signature model has been modelled after Brian's own modified 1959 Gretsch G6120. The guitar offers the same great characteristics as the original but has been slightly modified so it can handle an explosive playing style and intense use of the Bigsby vibrato unit. Sperzel locking tuners have replaced the original machine heads to ensure a stable tuning, and the pegged bridge is kept in place by two wooden pins. Even outrageous dive bombs won't affect the tuning of this great guitar.

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Signature Nashville series still boasts the tone controls of the original G6120 model, but the Filter'Tron pickups have been replaced by two feisty TV Jones Humbuckers.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 G6120SSULH 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.

• Please note: this is a left-handed model.
