✨ Gretsch 6120 Nashville Western Orange Hollow Body Electric Guitar (1990) With Original Case ✨

Few guitars capture the spirit of classic American rock ‘n’ roll quite like a Gretsch 6120, and this early Japanese-built 1990 example is a particularly interesting one.

Finished in the iconic Western Orange and displaying beautifully figured flame maple throughout, this Gretsch dates from the early Gretsch Enterprises era, a fascinating period in the company’s history before the later Fender-era revival. Built in Japan by the renowned Terada factory, it delivers everything players love about a vintage-style 6120: unmistakable looks, exceptional craftsmanship, and that unmistakable Filter’Tron chime.

The guitar retains its original Gretsch Filter’Tron pickups, original Gretsch-by-Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and original Gretsch hard case. The frets remain in excellent condition and the guitar plays wonderfully, offering the lively, resonant response that has made the 6120 a favourite of everyone from Chet Atkins to Brian Setzer.

Condition is very good for its age. The guitar presents beautifully with only light signs of use to the body, whilst the hardware displays significant age-related tarnishing and patina throughout. We have chosen to leave this untouched as many collectors prefer the honest ageing that has developed naturally over the last 35 years. The pickguard has had a historic repair to a crack and remains stable, with the repair only noticeable from the underside. A roller bridge has been fitted at some point during the guitar’s life, likely to improve tuning stability when using the Bigsby vibrato.

An increasingly desirable era of Gretsch production, these early Terada-built instruments offer outstanding quality, vintage character and a unique place in Gretsch history.

A superb opportunity to own a genuine 1990 Gretsch 6120 with originality, character and plenty of rock ‘n’ roll attitude.
