Uncoil the Strike of the Sidewinder
Hissing with fury, the intensely cool Gretsch G6130T Limited-edition Sidewinder comes loaded up with a pair of custom TV Jones humbuckers that inject fearsome, full-bodied impact into every musical expedition. You’ll get all the advantages of Gretsch’s esteemed Players Edition control set to complement, including treble bleed and a no-load tone circuit, in addition to Gretsch’s standard control layout. The look of the Sidewinder is a sight to behold, flaunting a gorgeous flame maple top with a serpent-engraved tortoiseshell pickguard, mother-of-pearl inlays, and beautiful nickel hardware. And speaking of hardware, Sweetwater guitarists find the included string-through Bigsby B3 vibrato, brass-saddled Adjusto-Matic bridge, strap locks, and Grover locking tuners add an impressive degree of professional playability that few besides Gretsch can deliver. Dressed in a one-off Bourbon Flame lacquer finish, the G6130T Limited-edition Sidewinder is set to stun all in its path with incomparable style and sound.

Dangerously good looks
Modeled after the build of Gretsch’s exemplary Duo Jet, the Sidewinder’s foundation is built atop a legendary tonewood combo. A chambered mahogany body promotes phenomenal sustain, capped by a flame maple top that commands as much bright and focused note articulation as it does head-turning attention. The adjunct eye grabber is a teardrop tortoiseshell pickguard, donning the Gretsch T-top logo and an engraving of the guitar’s poised namesake. There’s even tortoiseshell inlaid on the pickups!
The beauty continues up an equally well-sustaining mahogany neck, topped with ebony wood and showcasing 22 frets marked by Gretsch’s elegant and subtle neoclassical MOP inlays. Edged in ivory binding and adding in more MOP flavor at the body-matching headstock, the Sidewinder scores a 10 for style on every line and curve.
Any tone you like
A guitar this pretty deserves an appropriate set of pickups, which is why Gretsch loaded up the Sidewinder with a spirited set of humbuckers. A powerful custom pair of TV Jones humbuckers promises a pure, unadulterated dual-coil signal of full-bodied richness. TV Jones is revered around the globe for their outstanding pickup lines and meticulous attention to detail, and you’ll receive nothing short of spectacular with the outfit adorning the Sidewinder.
For tone-shaping purposes, a treble boost facilitates convenient extra top-end, perfect for applications when a more brilliant, single-coil-esque sound is pertinent. The no-load tone pot essentially reduces circuitry-based signal hindrances when you crank the brightness, leaving you with the tone you want without the messy buzz you don’t. To boot, you’ll sculpt the rest of your tone to your heart’s content thanks to Gretsch’s iconic configuration of master volume, master tone, and per-pickup volume controls.
True professional performer
As you'd expect, the Sidewinder features top-shelf hardware. At the base, a massive Bigsby B3 vibrato tailpiece stands by to supply casual tone dips and hard-rock dives with zero intonation complaints. It’s strung overtop a pinned, ebony-based Adjusto-Matic bridge fitted with brass saddles, offering plenty of player adaptability with a bright vintage response. Finally, an unwaveringly pure Graph Tech TUSQ nut and ultra-dependable Gotoh locking tuning machines ensure spot-on intonation for every gig, rehearsal, and jam session.
