G6196T-59 VINTAGE SELECT EDITION '59 COUNTRY CLUB™ HOLLOW BODY WITH BIGSBY®

Honoring one of the earliest "custom color" guitars Gretsch ever created, the G6196T-59 Vintage Select Edition '59 Country Club™ Hollow Body with Bigsby® is a richly voiced instrument just waiting to be unleashed on your music. Its huge, sonorous voice and elegant looks are the ideal combination for any player who wants to stand out from the crowd. Simply put, this guitar is the perfect companion on stage or in the studio, turning everything from sensitive ballads to raucous rock into pure Gretsch gold.

A pair of highly dynamic TV Jones® Classic pickups reacts to your pick hand with vivid tone. Traditional Gretsch controls, including individual pickup volume controls, master volume and a three-position tone switch, allow you to blend the pickups, customizing your sound with countless tonal variations. Add in the new Gretsch "Squeezebox" paper-in-oil capacitors and you get an incredibly silky vintage high end. The standard "U"-shaped maple neck bears a 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets for a memorable playing experience that works with any style. The 1959-style trestle bracing connects the top and back of this guitar for distinctive warm, balanced tone while minimizing feedback. 

Designed for pure sound and a first-rate playing feel, this guitar features classic appointments for long-time Gretsch fans—gold G Arrow control knobs, aged white binding with black purfling, Cadillac Green metallic lacquer finish, mother-of-pearl inlays, gold vintage plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo and Gold Grover® Imperial™ tuning machines. A resurrected blast from the past with elegantly refined style and sound, the G6196T-59 Vintage Select Edition '59 Country Club™ Hollow Body with Bigsby® will satisfy any fan of That Great Gretsch Sound!™
