For sale is a total 100% original 1967 Gretsch 6186 Clipper. This guitar is in mint, un-played condition except for some typical binding deterioration issues. Single cut away hollow body. This guitar has no signs of ever being played. It plays beautifully and the HiLotron pick up is hot and sounds great. Neck is perfect with beautiful action all the way up and down the neck. It comes strung with flat wound strings and includes the somewhat rare, original Gretsch Palm Tone Twister Vibrato bar that was offered as an option by Gretsch. Being a Gretsch lover myself since owning my first one in 1961, I believe these Clippers are a lot of guitar for the money.
Other than one very small pin head spot on the treble rib the original finish is flawless without scratch, dent or blemish not even lacquer checking or crazing. No fret wear. The pick guard is original and all hardware is shiny and clean. The only issue is the ever so common binding deterioration. There are two small missing pieces ( about 1/4″) of binding near the bottom of the guitar (see picture). It comes with the original hang tag, original Gretsch polishing cloth and the Gretsch Hard Case that is also very nice.
An excellent playing, sounding and clean as a pin guitar. Don’t hesitate to ask for more info or pictures. Thank you.
