Gretsch Prototype - Jaguar Tan G6118T-LTV Anniversary in Nitro Lacquer w/ TV Jones

This guitar is a one-of-a-kind Gretsch. It was the production prototype for the 125th Annies, it was the first to feature ML Bracing and was the exact guitar used in the catalog and promo photos for Gretsch's 125 Anniversary.  These are finished in nitro lacquer with a Jaguar Tan top and Metallic Gold back and sides, with neo-classical thumbnail inlays, a B6 Bigsby and TV Jones Power'Tron pickups.

Incredible guitar, easily the nicest guitar I've ever played.  The listing price includes the original hardshell case and and a letter of provenance from Joe Carducci marking this as the first 125th Annie.

Condition of the guitar is excellent all around, with some minor swirl marks and hardware tarnish from normal play. The nitro lacquer finish smells and feels fantastic - it's a treat every time I open the case. Only cosmetic thing to note is a slight nick in the headstock where I slipped while trimming a string end, which is so small that I can't get it to show up in photos.

Photos show it with a gold TV Classic, a Duane handle and a Tru Arc. It will ship as stock with a chrome PowerTron, a flat Bigsby handle and the Adust-o-matic bridge.

Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or to request additional photos.
