Gretsch G6136SLBP Brian Setzer Signature Black Phoenix Black owned by Chris Shiflett

This Gretsch G6136SLBP Brian Setzer Signature Black Phoenix Black is part of the private collection of Chris Shiflett.

"I LOVE GRETSCHES!! Always have. I think it stems from being such a big Stray Cats fan growing up. This one is cool. TV Jones pickups. Bigsby. Sparkly binding. Very flash!! I think I bought it around the time we played Hyde Park in London and I’m pretty sure I played it a lot at that gig. I seem to remember playing it a lot on the “acoustic” tour around then too."
-Chris Shiflett
