Gretsch celebrates the legacy of rock n roll and rockabilly pioneer Eddie Cochran with the G6120 Eddie Cochran SIGNATURE Hollow Body model, based on the distinctively modified guitar that fueled Cochran’s highly influential and all-too-brief career.
Distinctive elements include a special “open” internal body design and the unique combination of a DynaSonic single-coil bridge pickup and Lindy Fralin “dog ear” single-coil neck pickup. Features include a three-ply arched maple top with parallel bracing and double-bound F holes; three-ply arched maple back and three-ply maple sides; two-ply body binding (white-black); two-piece maple neck with 9.5” radius, single-ply binding and polished brass nut; 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with western-themed pearloid inlays (cactus, steer heads and fences); single-ply headstock binding; translucent plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo; “G”arrow control knobs; compensated aluminum bridge with rosewood base; Bigsby B6GBVF tailpiece; gold and polished aluminum hardware; gold-plated Grover® V98G Sta-Tite™ tuners; elegant Western Maple Stain finish and a deluxe hard-shell case.
