Description
The Gretsch Nashville G6120 6-12 Doubleneck was introduced in 1997, as a new model and built in very small numbers. There isn’t a lot of demand for doublenecks in the first place. However, they are impressive on stage, and if you need one, there is no substitute!
This G6120 doubleneck was a new design for 1997 – it was not a reproduction of a vintage instrument.
The Gretsch Nashville G6120 6-12 Doubleneck remained listed until late 2002, when Fred Gretsch III reached an agreement with Fender Musical Instrument Corporation (FMIC). Some models were dropped from the catalog, including the doubleneck.
Based on the vererable 6120 design, the Gretsch Nashville G6120 6-12 Doubleneck was built in Japan at the FujiGen Terada plant, as are current Pro-line Gretsch models. It features all gold hardware – G-Arrow gold Gotoh tuning gears, gold Filter ‘Tron pickups with gold surrounds, gold plated G-Arrow knobs and switch tips, a gold 12-string G-cutout tailpiece and a gold Bigsby. The electronics are somewhat simplified, with a master volume, tone controls, a pickup selector and a neck selector switch by the Bigsby.
