Gretsch Guitars Custom Shop Model 6076 12-String Electric Guitar Natural

Check Out This Fantastic Recreation of the Gretsch Model 6076 Electric 12 String

This Model 6076 12-String was hand crafted and has the quality and detail of the guitar just as it would have left the Gretsch factory in 1966. A meticulous recreation of a one-of-a-kind guitar that was custom-made for wool hat wearing guitarist from the hit TV series about an imaginary band that soon became a real one. The Gretsch Model 6076 Electric 12-String Electric guitar went into production in 1967 and was a 16” wide body and a Sunburst finish, designated as the Model 6075. The production Model 6076 was a natural finish, and also was a 16” body. This Model 6076 has a natural finish, 17” wide hollow body, true f-holes, mute switch and back pad. It is a one-of-a-kind recreation of that “one-of-a-kind” guitar made famous in the 60's.

The body is made from choice laminated maple finished in a natural/clear Nitrocellulose lacquer, then buffed and shined to perfection. The neck has a Fat "C" profile that's ideally suited to the 12-string format, and features an Ebony fretboard. The tailpiece was custom made to replicate the original 'G' Cutout. The bridge was hand crafted from Ebony and is an exact replica of the bridge shipped with the original guitar. A vintage style string mute and back pad ring in the detail of this beauty. The electronic control positions have been re-created to match the original guitar. Comes with hardshell case that is an exact reproduction of the case as made by Gretsch in 1965. A pair of 6 on a plate gold tuners and TV Jones Super Trons give this guitar the ultimate in aesthetics and playability. More than two years in the making, the Model 6076 portrays the historic beauty of the original guitar made at the Gretsch factory in Brooklyn, New York in 1965.
