1956 Gretsch 6196 Country Club Arch Top Guitar. NOT A REISSUE! Cadillac Green. 100% original unrestored condition. Has always been kept in a climate controlled environment in the original case included. Neck is straight and the original frets have very little use. Fantasti...c action. Pickups are loud and all electronics work. Ultra rare tremelo/wammy bar. Rare dowel through neck heel feedback stabilizer. The inlays are like new. The binding through out is in great condition. All hardware is original. Some wear in the gold and some light etching on the back of the head stock. This is a true celebrity professional grade guitar. Buy with absolute confidence.
Exceptional condition and in perfect working order. A premier Gretsch model with a full 17" lower bout, 25 1/2" scale, and an array of golden-era Gretsch features including hump block fretboard inlays, gold hardware, original Melita bridge, G tailpiece, arrow knobs, and original DeArmond Dynasonic knobs Acoustically the guitar has plenty of note attack and snap, and the fully hollow body allows for a rich, powerful sound that translates well through the Dynasonic pickups. The bridge position is sparkling and authoritative, with full, throaty bass response and a distinct character that comes with original DeArmond pickups. When both pickups are engaged the sound is equal parts full and snappy, and the neck pickup is girthy and thick without sacrificing clarity. The guitar weighs in at 7lbs 4oz and has been professionally setup with low action.
All of the original hardware is intact on the body, including the aforementioned bridge, arrow knobs, G tailpiece, and stock gold Gretsch-branded pickguard with original bracket. The binding is flawless with zero deterioration, and the guitar shows various finish chips and scuffs, but is a fine example of a well-kept Gretsch Country Club with zero cracks or repairs.Set up, new strings & cleaned by Phoenix top luthier.
