The construction of the Gretsch G6120T-BSNSH Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body Bigsby Black Lacquer follows the historical guidelines of the 1950s, thus creating the basis for lively vintage sounds. The full resonance body made of laminated maple with trestle-bracing and enlarged F-holes colours the sound with a full timbre, while the thin nitrocellulose finish promotes free resonance development. In addition, the glued maple neck offers a comfortable grip thanks to the "Vintage V" profile and the compound radius of the ebony fingerboard makes it easier to play in the higher positions.
The sonic conversion of the Gretsch G6120T-BSNSH Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body Bigsby Black Lacquer is of course done by TV Jones Brian Setzer Filter'Tron pickups in the neck and bridge position. Developed in close cooperation with the master of Rockabilly, they provide an enormously transparent sound through the guitar amp, where the juicy mid-punch in both the clean and overdrive channels makes every note expressive. Here, the authentic Gretsch circuit with triple tone switch, separate volumes for each pickup and master volume allows for perfect sound shaping. The cubes serving as poti caps also prove to be a cheeky hot-rod detail.
Last but not least, professional-quality hardware completes the Gretsch G6120T-BSNSH Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body Bigsby Black Lacquer. The classic Bigsby B6C vibrato system is used as the tailpiece, decorating notes and chords with expressive pitch shimmer. From here, the strings are led over a Gretsch Adjusto-Matic bridge, whose rosewood foot is fixed intonation-safe. In addition, Gotoh locking tuners on the head plate guarantee exact and stable tuning even when the vibrato arm is frequently touched.
