Listing Title:
2003 Gretsch G6196T Country Club - Cadillac Green - MINT / Unplayed Time Capsule with Mint OHSC

Description:
Available for purchase is a truly exceptional, collector-grade 2003 Gretsch G6196T Country Club in the highly coveted Cadillac Green finish. This instrument is a genuine time capsule in absolute MINT, unplayed condition. I purchased it brand new in 2003, and it has spent its entire life safely stored away, completely untouched. Included with the guitar is its original factory hardshell case, which is also in Mint condition.

Pricing & Offers:
I am asking $3600 to reflect the incredible, pristine museum-quality state of this unplayed instrument. However, I am open to accepting other reasonable offers from serious buyers and collectors. Please submit your offers through the platform!

  • Fully Insured: Shipping will be fully covered via Reverb Safe Shipping insurance.
  • Carrier Choice: Shipped professionally packed via UPS or FedEx.
  • Signature Required: Direct adult signature is strictly required upon delivery—no exceptions.

About this Guitar:
Manufactured in Japan's legendary Terada factory during the highly regarded first year of Fender's stewardship over Gretsch, this instrument represents the absolute pinnacle of modern Gretsch craftsmanship.

Because it has never been handled, practiced on, or gigged, the finish retains its brilliant factory gloss, the frets show absolutely zero wear, and the premium gold hardware remains flawlessly bright. Featuring a 17" lower bout, a beautifully bound body, parallel tone-bar bracing, and an effortless maple neck with a sleek ebony fretboard, it is a magnificent example of a golden-era hollow body design.

Sonically, its dual Filter'Tron humbuckers dish out that unmistakable "Great Gretsch Sound"—combining acoustic warmth with glassy, high-end punch. If you have been searching for a factory-fresh, mint-condition, early-2000s professional series Country Club that looks, feels, and smells exactly as it did the day it left the factory floor, this is the ultimate find.

Note: Please check the detailed photos to verify its pristine, mint condition. Electronics, hardware, and the Bigsby vibrato are 100% factory original and fully functional.
