  • Today we have a wonderful pair of 50's Gretsch gear, a 1958 Model 6120 guitar and 1956 Model 6161 amp! These are both in great condition and are great unique pieces - a Bigsby-equipped archtop with a pair of old Filter'Tron pickups give these guitars their sound, and they're just too much fun to play. The binding on the body here is in solid shape, which is somewhat unusual for these guitars of the era, and the only minor issue is a slightly bent tuning button that has no real effect on the guitar. The Model 6161 Amp is also in great condition, and these things have not one, but three speakers inside - a pair of 7x11" Rola Oval Speakers, and a 5" Rola Tweeter. The tolex finish and wraparound grill make this an amp that really stands out visibly, and they carry a great and unique sound as well!
    For more information on the guitar or amp, please give us a call or check out:

    (The Model 6120 guitar just recently arrived and will be on our site soon!)

    Probably the best electric guitar ever made, the Gretsch G6120.

    Maybe your best video yet! The right songs for that guitar, made my day.

    WHAT a rig. Good grief. You've had some fancy players demoing; but you always seem to be the most appropriate player for the best pieces. I will happily send you my address if you are feeling generous ...

    Finally someone who demoes this guitar the right way, ie with with Paul Revere and The Raiders and not with the execrable Sleep Walk (or even worse mr sandman). Thanks, I dug it.

    Nice. saw Ronnie Montrose kick ass on a saved Gretsch similar to this in black (Studio Instrument Rentals, SIR, SF), '84, Keystone PA. I could dig that. This, 'sig axe' of the highest order.
    Only one I wanted was the Dean Michael Schenker 'Retro' V. $549. I think they're back. Two v's so i'm set.

    Je règle peut-être mal mon Fender blues jr, mais pour me rapprocher de ce son avec ma 6120 de 2013 High sense filtrtron,
    middle 6, bass 3, treble 4.

      gibsondrummer Yeah, Fred was making a joke about the Strat-loving Buddy going crazy and stealing Eddie Cochran’s Gretsch. I guess he thinks Jay looks like Buddy Holly. I’m thinking more Ted Danson.😉
