About this listing
Made in USA. Single original factory Hi-Lo'Tron pickup. Hollow maple body. Original case. Ultra-lightweight at 2.85kg. Includes rare palm tremolo. Roller bridge. G-cut tailpiece.The Gretsch Anniversary guitars were introduced in 1958–1959 to celebrate Gretsch's 75th anniversary as a guitar maker. The 6125 designation refers to the single-pickup Anniversary model in Two-Tone finishes, most famously in Smoke Green (also called Two-Tone Green). These are classic hollow body electric guitars with vintage style and tone.The Anniversary series was designed as a more affordable alternative to flagship models like the famed 6120 Chet Atkins, but still with Gretsch tone and style. The 6125 was offered in Two-Tone Green and later Two-Tone Tan finishes, with earlier versions using Filter'Tron humbuckers before moving to Hi-Lo'Tron single-coils in the 1960s.This 1962 example features the later Hi-Lo'Tron pickup configuration and retains its original case. It is a quite rare variation, weighing only 2.85kg and equipped with the rarer palm tremolo system. It also features a roller bridge and G-cut tailpiece as standard.Test it for yourself at our Sydney shop, or we can ship it safely to your door anywhere in Australia.
