NLFS: 2004 Gretsch 6122-1958 TRADED
Got a beautiful 2004 Gretsch 6122 Country Classic single cutaway (1958 reissue) originally purchased from Elderly Instruments here. It's all original. It has not been played much at all, great sound & tone, nice setup. Grover imperial tuners , factory pickups, Bigsby B6, trestle bracing, etc. Traded for a '65 Vibro Champ and a fistful and a half of Benjamins..."
The G6122-1958 Country Classic is a single-cutaway closed hollow body has simulated f holes, trestle bracing, arched top and vintage walnut stain finish. The three-piece maple neck has an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl Neo Classic™ thumbnail inlays. Other features include dual High Sensitive Filter’Tron™ pickups, three-position pickup switch, three-position master tone switch, gold plexi pickguard, aged binding (body, fingerboard and headstock), “rocking bar†bridge, gold-plated Grover® Imperial™ tuners, gold headstock nameplate and Bigsby® B6CB vibrato tailpiece.

For what it's worth -Great guitar
I have never played this particular (Nick's) guitar, but I have one of these Gretsch's.
At first, I was afraid to try one because they aren't made in America. I'm glad I tried one. They are great guitars and I love playing mine. They have great sound. Try one and see if you agree.

I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Fender Corona plant a month or two ago and the tour included a visit to the Gretsch Custom Shop upstairs above the Fender Masterbuilt section. I will say I saw some awesome guitars in there...Jerry Hedge wrote:The new Terada (Japan)made Gretsch guitars are built so much better that the older U.S. made guitars!!!
