Here for sale we have a Gretsch G6121 Roundup Electric Guitar from 1996 in Western Orange Satin finish. Made in Japan, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body with an arched Maple top, a 3-piece Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Gretsch Adjustamatic Roller bridge, a Gold Bigsby B-3 (V-cutout) tailpiece, Wide-Block Pearloid inlays w/ Western Motif, a horseshoe headstock inlay, gold Gretsch tuners, and a set of Gretsch High Sensitive Filter’Tron pickups. The pickups are wired to a master volume, independent volume controls, a master tone, and a three-way pickup selector.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Thin ‘U’ profile filling the hand without being overly thick, this offers a balanced and smooth playing experience. The medium jumbo frets and 12″ radius provide a robust and smooth playing experience all across the fingerboard, and enhance string bending and vibrato techniques. The single cutaway body design allows the player to access the higher register with ease, allowing for fast lead lines without any obstruction.
The High Sensitive Filter’Tron pickups have a rich, open tone, with a warm low end, a tight and creamy midrange, along with an airy, articulate top end, providing loads of clarity across a wide range of tonal settings. The individual pickup volume knobs and master tone knobs help to inspire the exploration of different tones and sounds that can be made with the guitar. The G6121 Roundup produces that unmistakable ‘Gretsch Sound’ that the brand is so famous for, and is guaranteed to inspire any guitarist to play in ways that they have never before.
