Open Box Gretsch Guitars Reverend Horton Heat G6120RHH Electric Guitar Level 2 Vintage Maple Stain 197881340889

This guitar plays like a dream. Everything from chords, and lead runs, to funky rhythm comps this guitar delivers. It's capable of rich jazz tones all the way to biting mid-range rock and roll. I think this is due in large part to the TV Jones pickups. I've played 60's rock, surf rock, 50's, country, Stonesy sounding blues and the RHH will never disappoint. RHH has a little thicker tremolo arm which is really nice. They ought to be on all the Gretsch guitar if you ask me. Locking tuners and fixed bridge add to tuning stability as well.

Still wish we had tone knobs, but the middle position disables the tone filter which makes the pickups come across as raw as they should be.

This guitar plays and feels great, and has that very distinctive swampy Gretsch sound. If you don't want that sound, or want it to sound like a Fender or a Gibson, buy one of them! Or buy a Reverend, which everyone says get real tone versatility. I bought mine to play and record cowboy swampabilly roots rock, and through the right amp (either an old Supro or a '64 Deluxe Reverb), it works. Love the bigsby setup, which is unique in my experience. Love the cowboy appointments, love the big orange color. The TV Jones filtertrons sound great. I can't get used to the Gretsch fetish for a tone switch rather than a knob, it just seems weirdly limiting to me. One day I might mod it, but mostly I use the middle "no-tone" position so maybe it doesn't matter. Much. Hard to keep in tune if you use the bigsby at all; wear in your strings well before that session or gig! Consider 11s! No problem with fit/finish/setup/quality/durability. Time will tell, but what quality guitar will break if you don't break it?

A wonderful guitar indeed! This is a must have for anyone who likes RHH and plays guitar, I hope someday I'll be able to afford it. It has a lot of style and class and has a great sound. You'll feel very good as soon as you touch it.

This guitar absolutely oozes style. If you are looking for that great big dirty rockabilly/psychobilly guitar, then there is nothing that can compare. However, I will say that the bridge needed to be sanded down just a little bit, as the low E-string initially popped out a lot when I would be playing live, and that was kind sucky. Still, a little sanding, and it now rocks like a dream, and gives you that sound you always wanted from a guitar

In a word, Class! After putting this guitar through it's paces, I have nothing but great things to say. After getting over the price( I NEVER pay this much for a guitar) I can say that it is definitely worth every penny. From the classy fretboard inlays, to the nitrocellulose lacquer finish, to the T.V. Jones pickups, and even the case, the guitar is stylish and unique, looks good on stage, and sounds even better. It is also exceptionally easy to play, right out of the box, and responds to every nuance of my playing style. Bravo to a first class guitar!!
