Pre Owned 2023 Gretsch G6229T-'89 Vintage Select Silver Sparkle Electric Guitar With OHSC

This remake of a guitar from the heady days of grunge and Britpop is proof positive that there’s far more to Gretsch than just rockabilly. Though most guitarists come to  Gretsch via the likes of Chet Atkins, Eddie Cochran, George Harrison, and Brian Setzers – or even Malcolm Young and Billy Duffy – those of us who were teenagers in the 1990s might cite Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell and Ash’s Tim Wheeler as their gateway drug to the brand.

And it’s the Sparkle Jets wielded by Cornell and Wheeler that provide the template for this new Vintage Select model, which pays tribute to the 6129’s reintroduction at the end of the 1980s.  The ‘89 Vintage Select is a stellar tribute that improves on the original in terms of playability, stability and tone. 

This one in particular is super nice, and is in excellent condition.  It's been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  The original hardshell case is included, as is the original paperwork.  It's the complete package, ready to go!
