Gretsch G6118T-SGR
Descrizione
These days, the 1950s are still considered Gretsch's glory days. However, even the most determined purist has to admit that when it comes to playing ease, things have certainly taken a turn for the better since then. No wonder stars like Brian Setzer equip their stage guitars with locking tuners. Another modification that's often spotted on classic Gretsches is the secured bridge, which allows you to really go to town on your Bigsby vibrato without the risk of dislodging it. To save you a bit of trouble, Gretsch has already implemented these modifications on the models from their Gretsch Players Edition series. Although they sport modern hardware and pickups, these guitars still deliver that Great Gretsch Sound. Let's take a closer look at the G6118T-SGR Players Edition Anniversary in 2-Tone Smoke Green, for instance.
A modern classic
At first glance, the G6118T-SGR seems to have come straight from the fifties, but closer inspection will reveal that its body is actually considerably slimmer. A string-through Bigsby vibrato unit makes it much easier to replace your strings, while a secured bridge, TusQ string nut and locking tuners ensure optimal tuning stability. Even the Gretsch Filter'Trons sound better, delivering the same classic tone with less interference thanks to modern capacitors and improved shielding. If you love that vintage Gretsch sound and look, but value modern comfort too, this Players Edition model is well worth checking out!
Gretsch Players Editions
In 2016, Gretsch introduced two new series that both cater to a specific group of guitarists. The Golden Era Edition series was developed for true purists, while more pragmatic players will prefer the Players Edition models. The Players Edition guitars pay homage to the Gretsch glory days, but incorporate a number of modern modifications into their design. They have a slimmer body, for instance, made possible by Gretsch's innovative 'ML' bracing. This new type of reinforcement ensures that the instruments retain their full hollow-body sound, despite their decreased thickness. Other adjustments that make these Gretsch guitars more easy to play include an enhanced string-through Bigsby and a Fender 'no load' circuit.
