This Gretsch Rally was a guitar that we knew very little about prior to this coming into the shop. This model was short lived, but a very innovative guitar for it's time. This particular 6105 has seen better days, but with a good cleaning and setup, we were able to bring out the life in it. These guitars were known for the new Hilo'Tron pickups and the Sonic Boom switch. The Sonic Boom circuit was one of the first active boost circuits to hit the market. Unfortunately, it is not currently functional is this guitar. When switched into the circuit, there is a hum and next to no signal output. Our tech believes it is salvageable, but with the, shall we say, primitive technology they did not want to damage it further. Everything else works as it's supposed to and does sound excellent. The guitar itself does play well and is holding up after all these years, but there are some cracks and separation. We have included pictures wherever there are imperfections. This guitar does come with the original hardshell case and ALL of the original hang tags and the filled out warranty card showing that this guitar was originally purchased on 3/30/1968 at a shop that was once about a 15 minute drive from us! Opening up the case is a true blast from the past, and a Gretsch collectors dream. Please reach out with any questions here, or call our shop at (330) 673-1525. Shipping rate includes insurance and shipping to lower 48.
