This will be replacing the old G6120W-57 Chet Atkins Hollow Body model, and will be more affordable version of the Custom Shop G6120ETC. 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 pick guard with Gretsch logo; "G"arrow control knobs; compensated aluminium bridge with rosewood base; Bigsby® B6GBVF tailpiece; gold and polished aluminium hardware; gold-plated Grover® V98G Sta-Tite™ tuners; elegant Western Maple Stain finish and a deluxe hard-shell case.]]> Gretsch Eddie Cochran G6120 Left Handed Signature Hollow Body
