The G6196 Country Club is a classic among Gretsch guitars.  And, with its Cadillac Green finish and gold appointments, this model is certainly one of the best looking.  The G6196 Country Club is one of the few Gretsch guitars to feature a solid spruce top, instead of the typical laminated maple top.  Additional features include a single-cutaway bound hollow body; parallel tone bar bracing; oversized single-bound F holes; DynaSonic single-coil pickups; Grover Imperial gold-plated tuners; and Gretsch gold-plated G-Cutout Tailpiece.

NEWS FLASH!!!  Gretsch has discontinued production of the G6196 Country Club in Cadillac Green finish, making this a limited production model.  So, until Gretsch resumes production, what's out there all there is going to be.

This G6196 Country Club was made in 2007 at the premier Terada factory.  As a major bonus, the guitar has been upgraded with a Tru-Arc Brass Bridge on an ebony bass.  The original Gretsch Synchro-Sonic Bridge and base will be included with the guitar.  The guitar is in excellent condition, with very minor signs of use on the back.  The guitar comes complete with the factory case, hang-tag, Gretsch Guarantee Certificate, instructions, warranty card, Gretsch Guitar Guide, and the included-when-new issue of the Gretsch House Telegram newsletter.

The Tru-Arc Brass Bridge is a significant upgrade for all Gretsch and many other guitar brands.  Tru-Arc Bridges are of premium construction and are radiused to exactly match the guitar's fretboard.  The result is an incredibly playable action, improved intonation, and significantly enhanced tone & sustain.  Tru-Arc Bridges have become the de facto upgrade for Gretsch guitars played by the pros - Brian Setzer, Duane Eddy, Craig Dobbins, Bobby Gibson, and many others.  The Tru-Arc Brass Bridge, in particular, has proven to be a favorite.

This Gretsch G6196 Country Club promises to be an outstanding and valued addition to any guitarist's collection.
