Description

Gretsch Quilt Classics are stylish renditions of classic vintage models, reborn with stunning highly figured quilt maple.

Co-designed with the guitarist's guitarist, Chet Atkins, the venerable 6120 is one of the most widely heard Gretsch instruments. The G6120TGQM-56 Limited Edition Quilt Classic Hollow Body stays true to the early design with classic aesthetics that are further elevated by the use of highly figured quilt maple. A veritable tonal multi-tool, this hollow body has an easy-playing, comfortable feel and rings out proudly with That Great Gretsch Sound!™

Quilt Maple Body
The G6120TGQM-56 features a 2.75" deep body that is outfitted with stunning highly figured quilt maple and finished in a rich, opulent Roundup Orange nitrocellulose lacquer finish.

TV Jones T-Armond Pickups
A pair of TV Jones T-Armond single-coil pickups creates multi-dimensional tone with crystal clear highs, bellowing lows, a tastefully controlled midrange, and excellent balance and articulation. Traditional Gretsch controls allow you to blend and shape the pickups' sounds, creating countless tonal variations.

Classic Features
Designed for pure tone and slick, comfortable playing feel, this guitar features the classic appointments Gretsch fans desire - gold G-arrow control knobs, aged white binding with black purfling, aged pearloid wide-block inlays, gold vintage thick plexi pickguard with ghosted Gretsch logo and Chet Atkins sign post graphic, Bigsby B6CBDE vibrato tailpiece, compensated aluminum bridge with pinned rosewood base, polished aluminum nut, and Grover Sta-Tite tuning machines. A resurrected blast from the past with elegantly refined style and sound, the G6120TGQM-56 is sure to satisfy any devotee of Gretsch's golden era.
