I used to own it. It is very pricey and when I found out how much it was worth compared to what I paid for it. I should have kept it forever. It is an outstanding guitar. It is a bit on the heavy side but hey...that's one of the small sacrifices you have to make to rock! Sounds great, Looks great, Feels great (except when purchasing it), but above all..it is great!!

Outstanding Fiddle

Reviewer's Play Style: Rock, metal, R & B, Blues, Jazz, Rockab - depends.

I played this beauty in a "generic" music store yesterday - Saturday - and I am going in this Tuesday to buy it. It's balanced, it is gorgeous (it's also slightly heavy, but hey, it's a Gretsch), the tone is magnificent - booming lows, crisp searing highs, great on distortion, fret marks on the top side of the fretboard so you can find you fingering with just a casual glance, Bigsby, it's all just terrific. Not even the slightest rattle or hum. Fabulous blues box/jazz box guitar. I was even able to squeeze a little Metallica out of this baby. And of course it wouldn't be a Brian Setzer without being the best Rockabilly fiddle on the market, right? Best guitar value for the money. Like I said, It's a Gretsch. I'm biased.

This guitar rules all, of course because it is modeled after Brian Setzer's guitar. My cousin has it and i played a few differemt songs on it and the tone was great.... you kinda feel like you are Setzer when you play it. Just wish the price was less so i could buy it.

Good but pricey

Reviewer's Play Style: Everything

I purchased this guitar on a whim. I wish I could say that I felt it was worth the price I paid for it. It is a good guitar but I am just saying I am not sure if it is worth the price. I am used to playing a solid body. I am kind of dissapointed with the tone I am getting out of the guitar. Maybe it is something I will just get used to. The quality of the guitar is top notch but these days you can get pretty good guitars in a lower price range that are pretty much professional grade instrunments. If I were going to get another hollow body guitar I would probably get a different make.

One Of Gretsch's Best

The Brian Setzer G6120SSU is truely a quality Guitar. It has the traditional deep bouncy sound, with some of the best looks I've ever seen on a hollow body guitar. It has The Dice Volume controls for the Individual Pickups and the Master Volume so you can play both pickups without losing the ratio. It also has the Tone switches, that drastically alter the sound from strong and clear to a rockabilly echo. Of Course it comes with the Bigsby, making it as musically versitiale as any other Gretsch guitar.
