Gretsch G6120T-HR Brian Setzer Signature Hot Rod Hollow Body with Bigsby - Candy Blue Burst

Without a doubt Brian Setzer is one of the most exciting and impressive musicians of our time. By spearheading the rockabilly revival with the Stray Cats and jump-starting Big Band Swing with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, he has created a remarkable and lasting legacy.

Gretsch is thrilled to be a part of Setzer's pivotal legacy with the G6120T-HR Brian Setzer Signature Hot Rod Hollow Body with Bigsby, a truly rocking instrument boasting as much swagger as the showman who inspired it.

The single-cutaway hollow body G6120T-HR has an arched maple top with '59 trestle bracing and oversized F-holes for improved sonic snap and projection. The maple neck features a 9.5"-12" compound radius rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges for comfortable chording or speedy riffing across 22 medium frets and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays. Dual TV Jones Brian Setzer Signature Filter'Tron humbucking pickups replicate Brian's tight and punchy lows with a slightly hotter output that captures his unmistakably lively tone.

His bare-bones Hot Rod controls include only a three-position pickup toggle switch and master volume control with treble bleed circuit. The pinned Adjusto-Matic bridge with rosewood base, Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece, Delrin nut and Gotoh locking tuners ensure bullet-proof performance night after night.

The G6120T-HR comes dressed to the nines in either a Candy Blue Burst, Candy Magenta, Extreme Coolant Green Sparkle, Lime Gold or Magenta Sparkle finish with nickel hardware.

    Gretsch 6120 Brian Setzer Hot Rod guitar Blueburst

    Posted by Matt Sanders on 7th Sep 2024

    Having admired the Regal Blue Hot Rod guitar, when this came along it was something I thought looked amazing. These new Hot Rods are really good, the 9.5 radius boards are so easy to play and with a roller saddle Tunamatic and the locking machines the Bigsby stays in tune nicely. The pickups are quite single coil sounding but unmistakably Gretsch in sound. The colour is fantastic, once you see it in daylight the paint looks better than under artificial light. I've owned 20 Gretsch guitars and this is one of the best. Buy one! I have used one with a jazz band live and it sounds amazing, everyone loves the colour too!
