Gretsch Guitars

Up for bid is a 2004 Gretsch G6118TJR Anniversary model guitar in superb condition.  This is a small-body version of the 6118 with all the same features and tone!  Upgraded features include TV Jones Powertron pickups ($260 upgrade), Gotoh tune-o-matic bridge, graph-tech saddles and tusq nut.  The bridge has also been pinned to maintain intonation.  The TV Jones Powertrons have awesome tone!!!  Hear a great demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF-zH5TDpYk .

Original features include incredible smoke green 2-tone finish, Bigsby B3C vibrato tailpiece, laminated maple hollow body construction, maple neck, real ebony fingerboard, 2 switches (tone & pickup selector), and 3 knobs (master volume & individual pickup volumes).  This Gretsch is post-Fender and therefore includes thinner 3-ply maple construction, better electronics, and supposed higher production quality.

The guitar is in excellent, near-mint condition.  The only flaws are light string scratches on the headstock, very light finish marks on the back of the body, and insignificant tarnishing on the Bigsby tailpiece.  Fret wear is minimal.  Currently set up for .10 gauge strings.

Original deluxe hardshell case and a second Gotoh bridge with metal saddles are also included.
