High-End Hollowbody: Gretsch’s G6119SP Tennessee Special Cary May 30th

On the other end of the spectrum from their lower-end Electromatic Hollowbody is Gretsch’s gorgeous G6119SP Tennessee Special — an instrument that carries on the bad-boy Rockabilly spirit of Gretsch’s classic 6119 model guitars circa the late-’50s.

While the Tennessee Special may not be nearly as affordable as the afore mentioned Electromatic, that’s because it has a lot more to offer, including a beautifully finished arched maple top, authentic Gretsch/Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, Grover “Stay Tite” tuners (a must for serious string-benders like myself), and a pair of High Sensitive Filtertron pickups.

This beauty is a true twang-lover’s dream.

The Gretsch G6119SP Tennessee Special Features—

• Arched Laminated Maple Top
• Laminated Maple Back & Sides
• Maple Neck
• Ebony Fingerboard With 22 Frets
• Dual High-Sensitive FilterTron Pickups
• Master Volume Plus Individual Volume Controls
• 3-Way Master Tone Switching
• 3-Way Pickup Switching
• New “Rocking” Bar Bridge
• Gretsch/Bigsby B6C Vibrato
• V98C Stay-Tite Tuners
• Multiple Body Bindings,
• Adjustable Truss Rod

And as would be expected for this price range, the Tennessee Special comes with a Deluxe Hard Case… all the better for protecting your sizable musical investment, and that beautiful “Deep Cherry” stained finish.

Trust me, the first scratch is always the hardest…
