1967 Gretsch 6186 Clipper This Gretsch Clipper boasts one Hilotron pickup, a volume and a tone. It doesn't get much simpler than that. I added the tune-o-matic bridge. Everything else is as it should be. Unlike the earlier Clippers this one has the thinner 1 3/4" body depth..

1993 Gretsch 6120 Nashville  This Gretsch Nashville found it's way from Southpaw Guitars in Houston Texas. I bought it new back in the mid-90's. The Gretsch company has since been bought by Fender. This guitar plays great, sounds as sweet as cherry pie. On top of all that is a beauty to look at.

2006 Gretsch 6196 Country Club This Gretsch Country Club was purchased on Ebay from 'RockyStreetSounds' of Brooklyn New York. Unlike the Gretsch 6120's 24.6" inch neck scale the Club has a 25.5" scale is a little more familiar to Fender lovers and makes for nice easy playing up high on the neck. Also unlike the 6120 the Club has a solid spruce top. This guitar projects beautifully when unplugged. Other features include the "mute" switch and a two way tone switch instead of a tone knob. Sorry for the reflection in the photo. I will work on that.....

Here is a picture of the Gretsch wall in the guitar room along with some old Gretsch ads from Downbeat magazine.
