Gretsch - 1997 Rancher 6022-6/12 Made in Japan RARE Double Neck w/OHSC - USED
Serialized 9760226/12-7
This 1997 Gretsch Rancher 6022-6/12 is a stunningly rare, Terada-built masterpiece direct from Japan. Combining a 6-string and a 12-string acoustic neck onto a singular, resonant body, this instrument is an absolute showstopper both visually and sonically. It proudly retains classic Rancher appointments, including the iconic triangular soundholes, elegant western-style fingerboard inlays, and a rich, vibrant finish that emphasizes its premium grain. For the player looking to transition seamlessly between lush, orchestral 12-string shimmering chords and focused 6-string lead or rhythm work on stage, this double-neck offers an unparalleled performance experience.
As a prized piece of late-90s Japanese craftsmanship, this used instrument stands out for its exceptional build quality and robust structural integrity—a necessity for managing the immense string tension of a double-neck acoustic. It has been well-maintained, showing only the honest signs of light use expected from a vintage-adjacent instrument of this caliber. It comes complete with its original hardshell case (OHSC) to keep this rare bird safe between gigs. Whether you are a collector searching for an elusive piece of Gretsch history or a performing musician looking to make an unforgettable statement, this Rancher is ready to deliver.
