Pre Owned Gretsch Brian Setzer Hot Rod Hollowbody Electric Made In Japan, Lime Gold with Case
Includes hardshell case and everything shown
The Gretsch Brian Setzer Hot Rod in Lime Gold is a distinctive, vintage-inspired hollow-body electric guitar designed around the playing style and tonal preferences of rockabilly legend Brian Setzer, best known for his work with the Stray Cats and the Brian Setzer Orchestra.
Its eye-catching lime-gold finish, classic Gretsch body shape, dual TV Jones pickups and Bigsby vibrato make it especially appealing to players who want a combination of retro style, articulate tone and expressive lead-guitar performance
1. Striking Lime Gold finish
The metallic gold-green color gives the guitar a bold, custom-hot-rod appearance. The single-cutaway hollow body, arched top and traditional f-holes provide unmistakable vintage Gretsch styling.
2. Dual TV Jones Filter'Tron pickups
These signature humbucking pickups deliver a bright, punchy, articulate sound with tight bass, clear highs and a lively attack. They are well suited to rockabilly, country, blues, swing, classic rock and clean jazz-style playing.
3. Bigsby vibrato tailpiece
The Bigsby lets you add subtle pitch shimmer, gentle chord movement and vintage-style vibrato to individual notes. It is an important part of the guitar's classic rockabilly character.
4. Comfortable, performance-oriented neck
The maple neck and rosewood fingerboard on the later G6120T-HR version feature a vintage V profile and compound-radius fingerboard, balancing comfortable chords with fast bends and lead runs.
How does it sound?
- Clean tones: Bright, open and bell-like, with clear note separation.
- Rockabilly: Excellent for sharp slapback-delay sounds, fast runs and punchy rhythmic playing.
- Blues and classic rock: Has a warm, woody body sound with enough bite for overdriven leads.
- Jazz and swing: Produces articulate chords and smooth, rounded tones when played with a lighter touch.
- With overdrive: Can deliver a gritty, cutting vintage-rock sound, although a hollow body may be more prone to feedback at high volume than a solid-body guitar.
Who is it best for?
This Gretsch is a particularly good fit if you enjoy Brian Setzer, vintage rock 'n' roll, rockabilly, country picking or retro stage aesthetics. Its simplified controls are intentional: the design favors playing dynamics, pickup selection and amplifier settings rather than lots of onboard tone adjustments.
