Gretsch Announces Updated Anniversary Model: G6118T-LTV

15. February 2007

If you were already drooling over Gretsch’s standard G6118 Anniversary model hollowbody (like me) you may need resuscitation after you read this. Gretsch has recently announced their 2007 models, and among four new electric six-strings (not to mention an acoustic/electric, and the insane Jupiter Thunderbird bass) is the updated & upgraded G6118T-LTV––basically a suped-up version [...]

OK, not exactly electric, but these just look way too cool not to mention here. According to their website, Gretsch will be releasing four different limited edition Americana Collection acoustic guitars this year––each with a “Wild West” themed graphic on the front, and seriously retro-chic collector’s box.

Brian Setzer is a long-time favorite guitarist of mine (since way back when I was a teenager, and Setzer was still in the Stray Cats,) and if you know anything about the man you know he’s a Gretsch fanatic. In fact, the last time I checked he had something like five different Brian Setzer Signature [...]

Raisin’ Hell: Gretsch Unleashes Reverend Horton Heat Signature G6120

OK, I thought I’d start this series off with a bang – while I’m guessing that a number of you have never heard of the man (he’s a rather obscure phenomenon,) the Reverend Horton Heat is one of my favorite guitarists of all time.
