Gretsch G6120-BSHR-HGT Brian Setzer Hot Rod in Two-Tone Highland Green, USED

The Gretsch G6120-BSHR-HGT Brian Setzer Hot Rod in Two-Tone Highland Green is a striking and versatile hollow body electric guitar, designed in collaboration with rockabilly legend Brian Setzer. This guitar takes the classic Gretsch 6120 design and strips it down for simplicity and pure performance, perfect for players who want a vintage-inspired instrument with modern playability. The two-tone Highland Green finish, with its bold, metallic sheen, adds a visually stunning appeal that complements the retro vibe of the guitar.

At the heart of the Brian Setzer Hot Rod are the dual TV Jones Classic humbucking pickups, which deliver that signature Gretsch tone—snappy, punchy, and full of character. These pickups excel at capturing rockabilly twang but are versatile enough for everything from jazz and country to rock. The guitar's streamlined control layout, featuring just a single master volume knob and a three-way pickup selector, ensures that the focus remains on the player's tone and dynamics rather than complex control schemes.

The G6120-BSHR-HGT features a laminated maple body with a 16" lower bout and a full hollow construction, giving it the rich, resonant tones that Gretsch hollow bodies are famous for. Its maple neck, paired with a rosewood fingerboard, offers a smooth playing experience, with a comfortable 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets that cater to both chord work and lead playing. The Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece adds expressive vibrato capabilities, perfect for the subtle shimmer or aggressive bends that Brian Setzer’s playing is known for.

With its timeless design, premium components, and unmistakable Gretsch sound, the Brian Setzer Hot Rod is ideal for players seeking a high-quality, no-frills hollow body guitar. Whether you're into rockabilly, jazz, or rock, this guitar’s excellent craftsmanship and stage-ready aesthetics make it a versatile instrument that stands out both visually and sonically.
