This 2018 limited edition model celebrates 135 years of ''That Great Gretsch Sound''. Based on the original designs, the G6118T-135 is crafted from laminated maple, producing a ''big body'' resonance that is instantly recognisable. A pair of classic F holes allow the sound to be projected forward and add a touch of elegance to the overall appearance. Sporting an exquisite Casino Gold finish with white binding, you'll get just as much pleasure out of looking at this guitar as you will playing it.
Ultimate comfort and playable ease. The Gretsch G6118T-135 PRO Anniversary Edition features a ''U'' neck profile, providing you relaxed playability, and the perfect choice for those who play with their thumb on the back or side of the neck. Crafted from maple and topped with ebony, this neck will allow every detail of your string vibrations to carry through to the pickups.
Ebony is one of the top tier wood choices for fretboards and this Gretsch demonstrates why. A luscious dark colour, the board is springy, soft and highly responsive. Manoeuvring around the scales is a joy and will enhance your playing speed. Chord transitions are smooth, melodies flow and solos glow. You deserve the kind of quality this wood offers.
The G6118T-135 also features a Graph Tech Tusq nut which is imbued with PTFT. This controls the amount of grip that the nut has on the strings, allowing for excellent sustain. A fantastic piece of technology from Graph Tech, Tusq nuts deliver a rich tone along with hidden harmonics by transferring your strings vibrations efficiently to the guitar.
Unmistakable tone. As well as offering comfortable playability, the Gretsch G6118T-135 PRO Anniversary Edition also features two High-Sensitive FilterTron pickups, located at the neck and bridge positions. This powerful pair complements the guitar's chambered body resonance and delivers a balanced and transparent tone, eliminating any undesirable hum that is often associated with single-coil pickups.
Not only does this 135Th Anniversary Edition model provide you with uncompromising sound, but it also comes heavily equipped with premium appointments that make it worthy of the Gretsch name. This stunning limited-edition guitar is complete with a pair of classic F holes, 22 medium-jumbo frets, Dark Cherry Plexi pickguard with white Gretsch logo, Gotoh locking tuners, G-Arrow control knobs and nickel hardware.
