A mint condition 1997 Gretsch 6120 DE Hollowbody in Gretsch Orange
Gold Hardware and Bigsby Tremolo
OHSC
Humidified and all original
The Gretsch 6120 is the ultimate lean, mean rockabilly machine. Look no further than the recordings of Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Chet Atkins (for whom the guitar was originally designed) and Brian Setzer for aural testimony of what this buxom hollowbody can do. Then, of course, there's Duane Eddy, who, relying heavily on the 6120's factory equipped Bigsby vibrato, more or less defined what's come to be known as "twangy" guitar.
Gretsch's 1997 Duane Eddy 6120 was a near-faithful reproduction of the 1957 instrument that has been Eddy's main axe for 41 years. Essentially, it's a stock 6120 from that year, with the standout feature being a "flat bar" on the Bigsby that hasn't been available for decades prior to the re-release. The 16-inch, three-inch-deep body is almost completely hollow, with one-piece laminated maple sides bound with white and black purfling that also surrounds the guitar's f-holes. The guitar's 24 ½-inch scale neck is two-piece rock maple with a brass nut and a bound, 22-fret ebony fingerboard that meets the body at the 14t fret.
