Inspired by the original 1958 Anniversary model released to honor Gretsch’s 75th anniversary, the G6118T-60GE Golden Era Edition 1960 Anniversary with Bigsby is the “it” guitar. Giant Gretsch sound, easy playability and period-accurate appointments merge in this lightweight instrument that’s designed to rock.A pair of highly dynamic TV Jones® Hilo’Tron™ singlecoil pickups tops the laminated maple body, cranking out brilliant highs, warm lows and rocking mids. The traditional control complement—separate bridge and neck volume controls, three-way pickup switching, threeway tone switch and master volume—allows for nearinfinite tonal variations. Add the new Gretsch “Squeezebox” paper-in-oil capacitors and you get incredibly silky vintage high end. The standard “U”- shaped maple neck bears a 12”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 21 durable medium jumbo frets for a memorable playing experience that works with any style. 1959-style trestle bracing couples the top and back of this unique instrument, generating warm, balanced tone. A pinned Space Control™ bridge lets you dial in string spacing to match your personal playing style—wide for fingerstyle players and narrower for flatpickers. Add expressiveness to your playing with the Bigsby B6CVT vibrato tailpiece while the expertly cut bone nut lets the strings slide freely, without binding in the slots, and enhances the guitar’s natural tone.

A hollow body guitar is an electric guitar with a hollow body that contains resonating cavities. It has a warm and rich sound, often used in jazz, blues and rock. The body of a guitar usually contains F-holes, which contribute to its acoustic properties. Hollow body guitars have a more natural, less distorted tone than solid body guitars, but are more prone to feedback at higher volumes.
The glossy finish gives any surface an elegant and luxurious look. This type of finish is achieved by applying several layers of lacquer or resin, which are then polished to a high gloss. This provides a smooth, reflective finish, enhancing color and structure of substrate. The glossy finish not only improves aesthetics, but also protects against dust, moisture and minor scratches.
