Gretsch Guitar Professional G6120

Timeless Nashville Hollowbody Icon

The Gretsch G6120 Professional Collection Hollow Body Electric Guitar is the quintessential hollowbody from Gretsch’s Professional Collection, embodying the brand’s legendary Nashville sound since the 1950s. Ideal for jazz, blues, rock, and country players across Australia, it features a laminated maple body for airy resonance and FT-67 Filter’Tron humbuckers for classic Gretsch twang with modern clarity. Available in finishes like Orange Stain, Azure Metallic, and Black, it’s a stage and studio staple celebrated for its dynamic range, elegant design, and professional-grade build.

Exceptional Sound Quality

The G6120 delivers the signature Gretsch hollowbody voice:

• Body: Laminated maple top, back, and sides with a 2.5″ depth and 18″ lower bout for open, resonant tones with excellent projection. The ML bracing enhances volume and sustain while reducing feedback, creating a balanced frequency response from sparkling highs to deep lows.
• Tone: Airy and articulate with a bold midrange, versatile for clean jazz chime, crunchy rock overdrive, or warm blues. The treble bleed circuit maintains highs when rolling off volume, ensuring chimey tones at any level.
• Pickups: Dual FT-67 Filter’Tron humbuckers capture authentic vintage Gretsch voicing with a well-rounded modern tone. They offer robust output and clarity, excelling in both clean and driven settings, with individual volume controls for blending.
• Neck: Maple with a U-shaped profile and gloss finish for smooth, comfortable play. The ebony fingerboard has a 12″ radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays for effortless bending and speed.
• Bridge: Adjusto-Matic with a rosewood base for stable intonation.
• Tailpiece: String-thru Bigsby B6G for smooth vibrato and enhanced sustain.
• Controls: Separate bridge and neck volumes, 3-way toggle switch, no-load master tone, and master volume for infinite tonal variations.

Users rave about its iconic sound, with a Guitar Center review stating, “The G6120 is a beast—huge hollowbody tone with modern upgrades for today’s players.” A Reverb seller notes, “This Nashville is pristine and sounds incredible.” Some mention its weight (approx. 8.6 lbs) can feel substantial for long gigs, but the tone and aesthetics justify it.

Durable and Luxurious Design

• Finishes: Orange Stain, Azure Metallic, Black, with multi-layer binding on neck, body, and F-holes for a striking, professional look.
• Aesthetics: Gold Gotoh locking tuners, gold G-arrow knobs, gold plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo and Nashville post sign, and white bound neck/F-holes for timeless elegance.
• Build Quality: Laminated maple body, bolt-on maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and premium appointments like gold hardware for stage-ready reliability.

Backed by a 3-year warranty, it’s built to last. Prices range from AUD 4,000–5,500, available at Audio Shop Australia and other retailers.
