Gretsch G6121 Roundup Orange 1989

Gretsch introduced the G6121 as a tribute to the Western tradition the brand had cherished for decades, complete with beautiful Western inlays on the fretboard and a striking Roundup Orange finish that immediately draws attention. 

The single-cutaway mahogany body is topped with a maple top and features four-piece black and white binding that beautifully accentuates the guitar's contours. The flamed maple headstock overlay and Western inlays in mother-of-pearl complete the visual appeal, while the gold hardware and plexiglass pickguard give the guitar a luxurious appearance. The combination of mahogany and maple produces a warm, full tone with ample clarity and definition. 

This G6121 is equipped with two original Filter'Tron pickups that deliver the classic Gretsch sound for which the brand is so beloved; Rich, warm, and with a beautiful twang that perfectly suits both rockabilly and more modern music styles. The original potentiometers, coded 504072 (500K linear taper for volume) and 504042 (500K audio taper for tone), are still present and date-coded 97K. Details like these are priceless for collectors and enthusiasts of authentic vintage instruments. The Bigsby vibrato adds an extra dimension to the playing possibilities and provides the subtle modulation so characteristic of the Gretsch sound. The mahogany neck with a C-profile and rosewood fingerboard offers comfortable playability, while the roller bridge ensures stable tuning, even with heavy use of the Bigsby. 

This 1989 G6121 is in excellent condition and is a rare example from the first year of production of this model. The guitar comes in the original hardshell case and is a wonderful addition for both the collector and the guitarist looking for an authentic vintage Gretsch with character and history.
