Stunning top of the range Gretsch 6120 by masterbuilder Stephen Stern. A breathtaking example of what happens when timeless design meets the artistry of one of the world’s most respected luthiers.

Factory aged (covered in lacquer checking which looks fantastic when it catches the light - we've tried to illustrate this in the close-up photos). It is in near-mint condition with just a couple of minor user blemishes on the binding, but these are on the back/bottom edge so are always out of sight.

Handcrafted by Stephen Stern and his elite team at the Gretsch Custom Shop in California, this is not just a guitar — it’s a statement piece, built with obsessive attention to detail and old-world craftsmanship that few modern guitars can match.

Every curve, inlay, and finish nuance reflects Stern’s mastery. The G6120’s classic hollow-body construction, laminated maple top, back, and sides, and beautifully bound F-holes create the unmistakable Gretsch resonance — airy, open, and full of character. Its aged nitrocellulose lacquer evoke the golden age of rock ’n’ roll, while the finely aged hardware and vintage-correct appointments bring authentic mid-century style to life. The Maple/Walnut/Maple neck is comfortable and chunky and it has excellent playability. It has a Rosewood fingerboard with stunning decorative and aged inlays featuring various western-inspired images, a Bigbsy tremolo and Grover tuners.

Under the hood, it has 2x premium Seymour Duncan Dynasonic pickups thatdeliver that iconic Gretsch sound: shimmering highs, rich lows, and a dynamic twang that responds beautifully to every touch. Whether you’re chasing the snap of rockabilly, the warmth of jazz, or the edge of modern roots rock, the Masterbuilt G6120 offers extraordinary tonal range with boutique refinement.

This is a rare opportunity to own the pinnacle of Gretsch craftsmanship — a guitar that captures the spirit of vintage tone and the soul of modern artistry in one extraordinary creation. It comes complete with its original Gretsch hard case, COA and candy and will appeal to both collectors and players alike.
