Take the Stage With This Iconic Guitar

The Gretsch G6120 Eddie Cochran Signature hollowbody electric guitar is based on the distinct and highly-modified instrument that powered Eddie's groundbreaking rock 'n' roll and rockabilly style. The three-ply maple body is pure Gretsch quality, with parallel bracing and double-bound "F" holes, and of course a Bigsby B6GBVF tailpiece. Distinct to the G6120 Eddie Cochran Signature, though, is the special "open" internal body design for exceptionally huge tones with rich harmonics. You also get Eddie's unique combination of DynaSonic and Lindy Fralin "dog ear" single-coil pickups for that distinctive rock tone. If you want classic Gretsch playability with a unique sound, you'll love the Gretsch G6120 Eddie Cochran Signature hollowbody.

Based on Eddie Cochran's Gretsch

The Gretsch G6120 commemorates Eddie Cochran's short but iconic career as a pioneer of rock 'n' roll and rockabilly. The G6120 combines classic Gretsch playability with Eddie's distinctive modifications for a truly unique instrument.

Legendary construction

You'll find classic Gretsch construction in the G6120, like parallel bracing for maximum tone. The G6120 also features a special "open" internal body design, increasing your resonance and sustain even more.

Dual single-coil pickups

The Gretsch G6120 sports a unique combination of DynaSonic and Lindy Fralin "dog ear" single-coil pickups. The DynaSonic has been a Gretsch standard since the late 1940s, loved for its wide frequency response and adjustable pole pieces. The Lindy Fralin "dog ear" gives you rich and powerful midrange response, with the bite only a single-coil can provide.

Gretsch G6120 Eddie Cochran Signature Hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Amazingly playable guitar with a unique sound, based on Eddie Cochran's iconic Gretsch
  • Special "open" internal body design for enhanced tone
  • Great intonation with the compensated aluminum bridge
  • Hardshell case included

It’s That Great Gretsch Sound

This guitar is absolutely stunning to look at! It's the ultimate guitar for me. I've been an Eddie Cochran fan for as long as I can remember. The sound of this guitar is just beautiful!
Rated 5/5

Great guitar

I've always wanted the Orange Gretsch 6120 G brand with the western motif and the cowboy jazz on it. I wanted it more for the aesthetics and only had a few references to it's tone but must admit. I didn't care. I ordered the slick gun slinger guitar strap with the ruby jewel and fired it up to a Twin Reverb and walaa...magic Gretsch tone! So unique and versatile with a Dogear at the neck. It has the ability to get a nice smooth butterfly tone but mainly, it's that Twang baby! Integrity of the craftsmanship is hands down the best I've had the pleasure to look and feel. It's worth it!!!

Rated 5/5

Wow!!

Holy Cow!
I was floored by this guitar as soon as I opened the case. Gorgeous in that Gretsch way. The western motif, orange finish, just everything about it. Then I played it, fantastic!! I love the feel, the sound (beautiful sparkly sound), the gestalt....just can't believe how much I love it!
Much gratitude to Jason Koons (the greatest) at Sweetwater for helping make this happen.

That Great Gretsch Sound!

I got this guitar about 6 months ago and it"s been a great addition. The Lindy Fralin P90 is nice and warm and perfect for jazz, chording, and single note melodies. The DynaSonic brings out the sound of a big Gretsch Hollowbody with Twang, clarity, and punch. When both are engaged, you can blend to your preference and get many diverse tones. The western inlays, G brand, brass but, and of course the bigsby make this a beautiful guitar, visually and sonically. This thing delivers!
