Gretsch G6119T-ET Players Edition Tennessee Rose with Electrone Body - Deep Cherry Stain Reviews
The G6119T-ET Players Edition Tennessee Rose with Electrone Body from Gretsch supplies you with the classic hollowbody tone that so many rockabilly, jazz, blues, and rock players have fallen in love with over the decades. But the G6119T-ET hollowbody electric guitar is not just a throwback — this beauty has been designed for modern playing styles as well. Thanks to an arched maple body, the G6119T-ET delivers an open-sounding snap, putting its tone front and center of any mix — ideal for both the studio and the stage. The smooth U-shaped maple neck with rosewood fingerboard offers incredible response and playability, letting you rip off smoking leads and fat, chugging chords. And when you plug in, FT-67 Filter'Tron humbucking pickups deliver all the snarl and purr you desire. Finally, a classic Bigsby string-through tailpiece provides vintage, twangy tremolo and sustain.

5 out of 5
I've had this guitar for a little over a month and both my guitar playing friends and I think it is a great guitar—it even sounds good unplugged. If you type in "gretsch 6119 players" into youtube, you'll find a 5-ish minute video from Peach Guitars that contains no talking and gives you all kinds of tones you can get out of the 6119 Tennessee Rose Players Edition. The FT67 filtertron pickups have a nice clean sparkle and the narrower 2.25 inch hollow body resists feedback better than a traditional Gretsch hollow body once you start cranking up the gain. The f-holes on the cherry stain finish are simulated (painted on), so you get a true hollow body that can take you from rockabilly and country all the way to hard rock and blues. It may not be the best choice for ultra-high gain metal, but you can coax a variety of really nice tones from it. With just the bridge pickup engaged (and a Marshall amp), you can even venture into some AC/DC late great Malcolm Young rhythm guitar territory. Last (and not least) it is one of the least expensive guitars in the Gretsch professional line-up. I think Gretsch deserves some extra praise for coming up with the players edition line-up and giving customers a more versatile guitar that still maintains the traditional Gretsch/filtertron twang when you want it. Also—Sweetwater folks were great to deal with during the purchase and shipment of the guitar. Give this instrument some serious consideration and keep on rockin'!
My New Favorite Guitar
The Tennessee Rose arrived setup perfectly. The build quality is outstanding. I really love the neck on this guitar, very comfortable, very easy to play. FT-67 Filter'Tron humbucker pick-up where have you been all my life! Goes from bell like chime to PAF chunk with the twist of the master volume knob. Sounds wonderful thru the Magnatone Twilighter which has a Jensen P12Q I got from Sweetwater last month to tame the amp a bit.. the original Speaker was too efficient.
Thanks again Jared for your help, Sweetwater is the best guitar and gear buying experience!
