The Gretsch G6120TG Players Edition Nashville delivers that classic Gretsch tone and feel, while providing performance-focused modern enhancements. For example, the Bigsby B6GP vibrato tailpiece has a string-through design that makes it easier to change strings while also enhancing sustain. The slim body helps fight feedback onstage while maintaining a full hollowbody tone thanks to the custom bracing pattern. Complete with a pair of all-new FT-67 Filter'Tron humbucking pickups, the Gretsch G6120TG Players Edition Nashville delivers iconic hollowbody tone in a gig-ready instrument.

New-and-improved Filter'Tron pickups





When you want that classic '50s-era archtop guitar tone, you need real Gretsch humbuckers. That's why Gretsch outfitted their G6120TG Players Edition Nashville a pair of new FT-67 Filter'Tron pickups. Unlike most humbuckers, these traditional Gretsch pickups yield a characteristically bright and open sound that's jangly on your highs with added single-coil-esque bite.





Slim body helps fight feedback onstage





With a body thickness of approximately 2.5 inches, the Gretsch G6120TG Players Edition Nashville is slimmer than many other hollowbody electrics you'll find at Sweetwater. This design element helps reduce feedback when playing onstage with loud amplifiers. Not to mention, Gretsch customized the bracing pattern of the G6120TG Players Edition Nashville to make sure that you get full hollowbody tone and depth despite the slimmer size.





Expressive Bigsby vibrato with string-through design





You can't beat the sound of a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece for expressive guitar licks, and the Bigsby B6GP on this Gretsch has a string-through design that makes it even faster to change strings. This design also helps enhance sustain and note definition, helping each note ring as clear as a bell.
