Gretsch G6136SLBP Electric Guitar Review
built to the Brian’s demanding specifications.

Stripped-down and tricked-out! The new musical instrument from Gretsch was designed and built to the Brian’s demanding specifications. “All the right stuff with a little glitz thrown-in for good measure!” Features on the Gretsch Brian Setzer Black Phoenix Guitar include 1959 Trestle bracing, TV Jones Classic pickups, pinned Adjusto-matic bridge, Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece, and silver sparkle binding. Schaller straplocks and Grover Imperial machine heads are standard equipment. Finished in gloss black nitrocellulose lacquer.
