An Original Design That Celebrates 130 Years of Gretsch
The Gretsch G6137TCB Panther celebrates 130 years of Gretsch history. The real story here is the G6137TCB Panther's long spruce center block. Running the whole length of the body, this center block minimizes feedback caused by body resonance, letting you play louder and with more gain while keeping your amplifier under control. And this center block actually integrates with the bridge, enhancing vibrational transfer for snappier, brighter tone. If you dig Gretsch guitars, then you'll surely be impressed at the sound and feel of the Gretsch G6137TCB Panther.

You get a lot of tonal bang for your buck with the Gretsch G6137TCB Panther, thanks to its long spruce center block. Running the full length of the body, the center block allows the otherwise hollowbody to resist resonant-frequency feedback. That means you can rock out louder with more gain, without your amplifier squealing out of control. Spruce is a snappy tonewood, too, and since the center block connects with the bridge, the note definition and clarity on the G6137TCB Panther are amazing.
Smooth vibrato action courtesy of BigsbyNothing beats the character and vintage vibe that a real Bigsby tailpiece adds to the G6137TCB Panther. It's particularly easy to pull off slow, subtle, and extended bends with the G6137TCB Panther, thanks to its Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece.
Sweet vintage tone from HS FilterTron pickupsThe G6137TCB Panther packs a wide-ranging vintage-style voice, thanks to a pair of HS FilterTron humbucking pickups. These pickups sport larger magnets and pole screws, resulting in higher inductance, which means thicker tone. The bobbins are packed closer together and wound with less magnet wire, which means you don't lose as much high end as other humbuckers.
