Gretsch introduced the Anniversary series in 1958 to mark the company's 75th year as a guitar maker, positioning it as a more affordable alternative to the flagship 6120 Chet Atkins while sharing much of its construction. The 6125 is the single-pickup, two-tone-finish version, built on the same fully hollow, 16-inch-wide body as the 6120. Early examples (1958-1960) carried a single Filter'Tron humbucker; from 1961 onward Gretsch switched to the single-coil Hi-Lo'Tron, the configuration on this 1962 example.
It's finished in the original Two-Tone Green (Smoke Green), paired with a G-cut tailpiece and a rare palm tremolo, a vibrato unit not commonly seen on these. At 2.85kg it's unusually light even for a fully hollow design, and that shows up in the feel as much as the tone: warm, woody and articulate, with real resonance unplugged.
Wear is consistent with age throughout. The fretboard is in excellent condition, everything is original, and it comes with its original case.
