Built for Tone Signature Hollowbody from Gretsch!
Get that classic Gretsch tone, playability, and feel with the G6120TFM-BSNV Brian Setzer Signature Nashville hollowbody archtop. Designed with meticulous input from Setzer himself, the G6120TFM-BSNV conjures the vintage tone and design that have made it a staple among rockabilly, jazz, and rock guitarists for decades. The G6120TFM-BSNV features a flame maple arched top, plus a flame maple back and sides, with a captivating gloss that lets the color really shine through. The inclusion of 1959 trestle bracing ensures maximum resonance and tone. A maple neck with an ebony compound-radius fingerboard offers incredible playability and response. An Adjusto-Matic bridge with pinned rosewood base and a Bigsby B6G tailpiece provide stellar tuning support, sustain, and tremolo for all kinds of stylistic exploration. And when you're ready to plug in, a pair of TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature Filter'Tron pickups kick out all the warm humbucking tone you desire!
Higher-output Filter’Tron humbuckers capture the unmistakable Seltzer tone
TV Jones's first and only signature pickup honors the man who helped put Tom's fledgling pickup company on the map. TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature pickups boast the familiar Filter'Tron snap, sparkle, and chime. But a stronger, fatter low-midrange punch and a hotter output — sitting between the TV Classic and Classic Plus — increase the potential for that coveted tube crunch as you crank up. The cleaner neck position comes with standard pole spacing, while the hotter bridge position sports TV Jones's signature (wider) pole spacing for greater inductance and juicier sustain.
Neck built for speed and feel
The maple neck on the G6120TFM-BSNV Brian Setzer Signature Nashville is cut to a comfortable Vintage "V" profile, while its ebony 9.5-inch to 12-inch compound-radius fingerboard invites fast lead runs and relaxed chording up and down the neck. Its 22 medium-jumbo frets also add to the comfort of this effortless feel of this neck, and its dot side markers and neo-classic thumbnail inlays give it a captivating visual presentation for both you and your audience. This neck is a huge favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater!
Bigsby tailpiece supplies smooth vibrato action
Nothing beats the character and vintage vibe that the Bigsby tailpiece adds to the G6120TFM-BSNV. Based on the original design created by Paul A. Bigsby, the Bigsby Licensed B6G tailpiece requires next to no effort to use, making it particularly easy to pull off slow, subtle, and extended bends. You'll be able to bend into notes, give full chords vintage-sounding modulation, and imbue single notes with a character that isn't attainable with other setups.
