Resonant Chambered Body

The Gretsch G6618-MG's chambered maple center block adds resonance while preventing unwanted feedback. The maple body produces a balanced tone with clear highs, warm mids and tight lows. Open F-holes also increase projection and acoustic-like depth. Together, these design elements capture the hollowbody experience in a feedback-resistant form. You'll have the freedom to play at high volumes and push the guitar into overdriven tones without issues.

Custom Appointments

Martin Gore contributed several personalized touches to make this signature model an homage to his artistry. The engraved "MG" truss rod cover and gold Gretsch logo headstock emblem reflect Gore's stylish sensibility. Vintage-style tuners, an Adjusto-Matic bridge and a G-cutout tailpiece evoke Gretsch's rock and roll heritage. An ebony fingerboard and pearloid block inlays provide a classy playing surface. These appointments give the G6618-MG an heirloom vibe and connection to Depeche Mode's pioneering music.

Innovative Electronics

TV Jones TV-HT single-coil pickups deliver a clear, articulate tone perfect for synth-infused playing. With individual volume controls for each pickup, you can blend them to create different sonic flavors. A master volume with treble bleed circuit maintains high-end clarity at lower volumes. A three-position toggle switch selects pickups individually or in tandem. This versatile yet straightforward control setup makes it easy to craft your signature sound.

Premium Playability

A comfortable U-shaped maple neck and 24.6" scale length provide a familiar feel for guitarists. The 12" radius ebony fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets make chord shapes and leads easily playable. With pro-level build quality and an inspiring design, the Gretsch G6618-MG Martin Gore Anniversary Center Block guitar plays as good as it looks and sounds.
