Locking Tuners

Suhr Modern Pro Solidbody Electric Black Cherry Metallic, 2011

On August 1, 2018 /

The Suhr Modern features an alder body, maple neck with 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, modern elliptical profile and larger Stainless Steel frets, Sperzel locking tuners, and a Gotoh 510 2-post trem bridge. For electronics, it has custom JS (for John Suhr) pickups and an HSH configuration. The controls are simple, a 5-way selector switch and master volume and tone, but the tone control uses a push-pull pot to allow splitting the neck pickup.

Gretsch G6136LSB White Falcon Bass, 2011

On December 21, 2017 /

Here’s something unusual a Gretsch G6136LSB White Falcon Bass dating to November 2011. We rarely see these basses; they were not produced with the original 1950’s versions of the White Falcon, and first appeared around 2006 as a new model built for Gretsch at the Japan Terada plant (hence the JT at the start of the serial number). This plant builds many really excellent quality instruments.
The Gretsch G6136LSB White Falcon Bass uses a fully hollow, arched Maple laminate body with tone bar bracing, and a 34-inch scale Maple neck with bound Ebony fingerboard, and with the engraved gold-plated “THE WHITE FALCON” plaque on the Falcon-styled headstock. It’s a White Falcon, so of course all of the binding is Gold Sparkle.

Gretsch G6120RHH Reverend Horton Heat Archtop Guitar, 2005

On December 18, 2017 /

Here’s one we don’t see very often – a Gretsch G6120RHH Reverend Horton Heat Archtop signature model! This is based on a combination of 1955 6120 construction and 1958 style electronics. It has all the 1950’s Gretsch western decoration – the G-brand on the body, the Steer-head and cactus inlay set, 50’s style Bigsby arm and of course the Gretsch orange finish. It also has a couple of very modern upgrades – a pinned bridge and locking tuners for much faster string changes. This guitar is in all original condition and dates to November of 2005, the first year the Reverend Horton Heat signature model was available. It’s in very good condition and plays great.

Gretsch G6120-1959LTV Archtop Electric, Orange 2000

On November 29, 2017 /

The Gretsch G6120-1959LTV isn’t currently in production, but it represents the specs of the famous 1959 Gretsch Chet Atkins models, with lacquer finish, zero fret, Trestle bracing and TV Jones Classic pickups. Technically, this guitar isn’t a Chet Atkins model, as at time of construction Gretsch had not re-obtained the rights to the Atkins name. Still – the rest is the same. Based on a 16 inch wide, single cutaway body with sides 2.75 inches high. It was originally built with a bracing system combining a pair of tone bars running the length of the body plus a sound post under the bridge, but in 1959 Gretsch added a ‘Trestle’ bracing system for Chet Atkins, who was facing the common problem of hollow-body guitars feeding back at ever-increasing stage volumes.
