Awesome & Rare Gretsch G6120 6-String/12-String Doubleneck in Gretsch Orange W/OHSC.
Suffice to say, this is not one you will find every day. In fact, I’ve never even seen one before, much less had one in inventory.
The Gretsch Nashville G6120 6-12 Doubleneck was introduced in 1997, as a new model and built in very small numbers.
It remained listed in the Gretsch catalog until late 2002, when Fred Gretsch III reached an agreement with Fender Musical Instrument Corporation (FMIC). Some models were dropped from the catalog at that time, including the doubleneck.
Based on the vererable 6120 design, the Gretsch Nashville G6120 6-12 Doubleneck was built in Japan at the FujiGen Terada plant, as are current Pro-line Gretsch models. It features all gold hardware – G-Arrow gold Gotoh tuning gears, gold Filter ‘Tron pickups with gold surrounds, gold plated G-Arrow knobs and switch tips, a gold 12-string G-cutout tailpiece and a gold Bigsby on the 6-string. The electronics are somewhat simplified, with a master volume, tone controls, a pickup selector and a neck selector switch by the Bigsby.
The faux f-holes are a great touch!
The guitar is in excellent condition. It has no dents or dings. You can see some very slight tarnishing to the gold hardware in places, but for a 25+ year old piece, this thing is really in incredible shape. It was obviously seldom played.
The necks are straight on both and in great condition. It is setup to play as it is and in my opinion is good to go.
While it is on the heavy side (of course!) it is well balanced and easy to play.
It comes as pictured with original Gretsch form fit hard case.
Overall, this is a rarity piece in collector’s grade condition. If you are a collector, it is one you want to grab because you will not find another on the market for quite some time,or possibly ever.
