Gretsch G6137TCB-DC Black Panther Double Cut Center-Block Bigsby

The Gretsch G6137TCB Panther Centre-Block 6-String Semi Acoustic Guitar Black is a Professional Collection Model celebrating Gretsch’s 130th anniversary and features a striking 1 ¾" deep double-cutaway three-ply Maple body constructed with a long Spruce centre block, a 16" lower bout, arched top and back and elegant f holes.

The centre block runs the entire length of the body and imparts several sonic advantages. First, it minimizes body-resonant feedback and creates a more high gain-friendly performance. Second, it's made of Spruce, which produces a spirited, lively tone. Third, the centre block itself is chambered at the lower bout to minimize weight. Fourth, the pinned wood bridge base extends over the sides of the centre block about 5/8” on either side, transferring string-vibration energy to the two f-hole-vented body chambers to produce a full-bodied tone.

Other premium features include a three-piece Maple neck, 12" radius bound Rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, single-ply bound headstock with pearloid Gretsch logo and dual High Sensitive Filter’Tron pickups.

The guitar also has a top-mounted output jack, ‘G’ arrow control knobs and chrome hardware, an Adjusto-Matic bridge with pinned Rosewood base and Bigsby B6C tailpiece, Grover Sta-Tite tuners and Schaller strap locks. A deluxe hard-shell case is included.
