SOLD: Gretsch 2008 G6118T-LTV 125th Anniversary Jaguar Tan

TonyR · March 2018

So, the clearout begins... after deciding to mainly concentrate my efforts on acoustic playing I'm slimming down the number of electrics I own.

I know things are a bit slow in terms of sales right now, but I thought I'd try this on here for starters.

This is an absolutely awesome guitar in terms of playability and sound - and I would definitely be keeping it, had I not purchased the G6120AM as a 50th present to myself.

Previously owned by @TheMarlin and @BillKat ;;;;

It's in pretty good condition - a couple of minor cosmetic issues - a crack in one of the pickup surrounds and a wrong screw for the pick guard - both were done before I got it.

This guitar deserves to be played - and it's really just an ornament hung on my music room wall at the moment.

Complete with hard case and paperwork (which I sent off to Gretsch for).

Price: £1350 - no offers please.

Collection from York - or will meet somewhere if required, I'm not willing to post.

Thanks

Tony

Good luck with the sale

That is a cool guitar, at a cool price.

Beautifully made thing, that. Has the ML bracing so a little more sustainy and still sounds like a big hollowbody.

Fabulous guitars, one of the best Gretsches of all in my opinion. Possibly my favourite neck pickup sound of all my guitars. This is a bargain!

Bump - and trade option added, somewhat contradicting my reason for wanting to let this guitar go!

This is how problems and doubts creep in...I’m loving my mapleglo but...oh dear.

One of my favourite guitars ever. I'd buy it back if I could. Alas, we have a house full of builders gutting the place - walls out, floors up, gone back to bare brick, and rebuilding. So, all my money is tied up in that - and my wife's expensive taste in kitchens!

The bridge and pickguard have changed since I had it. Loved the neck on this one - just perfectly comfy.

I'm down to three Gretsches these days

edit: I've still got the receipt somewhere...bought it lightly used from Wunju for £1600. They put the first ding in it. Was perfect, they took it away to set it up, and I got it back with a free ding on the back.

Original pickups were TV Jones Powertrons, I put TV Classic Plus set on it - much better in every way. love that bridge pickup - no mud, bit of a nice snarl, stunning chimey cleans.
