Gretsch Model 35 Archtop Guitar Sunburst, 1933

On October 21, 2021 /

The Gretsch Model 35 American Orchestra archtop guitar appeared in 1933 and was built until 1940, when it was replaced by the Synchromatic line and the model 30. The Model 35 features a solid carved Spruce top with small-size F holes. Maple is used for the sides and back, Flamed Maple for the neck and Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. The Gretsch logo is a Banner style using an engraved pearlescent plastic – rather like a drum covering.

❌SOLD❌ Gretsch White Penguin G6134 DynaSonic, 2004

On July 27, 2021 /

We don’t see these often! The Gretsch White Penguin is the ‘Jet’ bodied version of the classic White Falcon, and here carries DynaSonic pickups and a ‘Cadillac’ tailpiece! The Gretsch White Penguin was officially launched in 1956 as a follow-up to the successful White Falcon. The White Falcon itself was created literally as a one-off showpiece, bling for the 1955 Winter NAMM show. However, the buyers at that show saw the Falcon differently and immediately placed more than enough orders to require regular production.

⚌Reduced‼ Gretsch Anniversary 6118 Two Tone Smoke Green 1964

On April 30, 2021 /

Here we have a very nice Gretsch Anniversary 6118 in Two Tone Smoke Green, built during 1964 in Brooklyn, New York. The Gretsch Anniversary Models were introduced as lower cost versions of the popular 6120 during 1958 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the company’s 1883 founding. This Gretsch Anniversary 6118 dates to 1964 and is in very nice condition, with no binding deterioration. The Two Tone Smoke Green finish shows natural and expected lacquer checking but the colours are rich and vibrant with very little physical damage otherwise. This guitar appears to be all original, with one subtle modification – the black plastic pickup inserts have been removed and flipped to be all black, with the ‘Gretsch’ logo hidden and facing down.
