Do you want an acoustic guitar that is a true piece of music history that has tone as big as a homestead? Here's this vintage Gretsch 6022 acoustic from 1956.  That's right this fantastic acoustic was made right as the birth of rock and roll was happening.   Gretsch has made some of the more popular acoustics of the era, and this particular model has been played by such players as Eddie Cochran, Brian Setzer, Eric Clapton and more.

This vintage acoustic guitar has a unique build that sets it apart from others of its time. Its flat spruce top is paired with an arched maple back and maple sides, producing a large, resonant body that delivers powerful tones. Its iconic triangular-shaped soundhole adds to its distinctive design. The set neck boasts a thicker 50's profile and a rosewood fingerboard adorned with vintage cactus and steer inlays. The instrument is beautifully finished in a vintage orange stain, synonymous with Gretsch. The large "G" emblem on the top perfectly represents the Rancher name, while the headstock features a bold steer inlay.

This vintage Rancher boasts a strong rosewood bridge and stopbar, along with traditional butterbean tuners for reliable tuning. As expected, itfeatures the classic tortoise pickguard with a steer logo, completing its iconic look. 

This is an amazing vintage acoustic in good condition especially given its age - the vintage vibe is fully there, with honest play wear througout.  Be sure to check ou the photos.  The guitarcomes with its original hardshell case.  It's been setup by the techs in our shop.  You won't see many of these around, and this is a great find!
