Summary:
If you’re a fan of rock ‘n’ roll history, incredible guitar tone, and unmistakable stage presence, the Gretsch G6120T-BSSMK Brian Setzer Signature Nashville Hollow Body ’59 “Smoke” is a guitar that deserves your attention.
Brian Setzer has built one of the most impressive careers in modern music. From bringing rockabilly back into the spotlight with the Stray Cats to introducing a whole new generation to big band swing with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, his influence on music and guitar playing is undeniable. With over 13 million records sold, three Grammy Awards, and the Orville H. Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award, Setzer has certainly earned his place among the greats.
The “Smoke” is a faithful recreation of Brian’s longtime stage guitar, designed to capture the look, feel, and sound of a classic 1959 Gretsch while incorporating the modern features he’s relied on throughout his career.
Finished in a gorgeous semi-gloss Smoke Orange lacquer, this guitar has all the vintage appointments you’d expect, including the period-correct ’59 headstock, classic Gretsch logo, authentic pickguard, and historically accurate control and switch placement. It’s an absolute stunner!
But don’t let the vintage looks fool you. This guitar is built to perform. The single-cutaway hollow body features an arched laminated maple top, 1959-style trestle bracing, and oversized F-holes that help deliver incredible resonance and projection. The maple neck features a comfortable vintage V profile, compound-radius ebony fingerboard, and rolled edges, giving it that wonderfully broken-in feel right out of the case. Whether you’re laying down smooth chords or ripping through fast lead lines, this neck feels right at home.
When it comes to tone, Smoke really shines. The dual TV Jones Ray Butts Ful-Fidelity pickups deliver everything you’d want from a great Gretsch: warm, full-bodied lows, plenty of clarity, and that unmistakable Filter’Tron sparkle. From rockabilly slap to bluesy leads and full-on rock ‘n’ roll, this guitar has an incredibly versatile voice.
Gretsch also made sure this guitar was ready for the road, equipping it with an Adjusto-Matic bridge on a pinned rosewood base, Bigsby B6CGH vibrato tailpiece, Delrin nut, and Gotoh locking tuners for dependable tuning stability and performance.
Bottom line: The Brian Setzer Signature “Smoke” isn’t just a beautiful tribute to a legendary guitarist. It’s a serious, stage-ready instrument that combines the character of a vintage Gretsch with the performance and reliability of a modern professional guitar. If you’ve been looking for that iconic Gretsch sound, unmistakable style, and a guitar that feels as good as it looks, this one is something special.
