This is the short history of the Gretsch 6120, the core of the "hollow body" side of the Gretsch story. There are many other hollow body Gretsch models but none with the storied history of the 6120.
I'd like to send a SPECIAL THANKS to all the "friends of five watt". Your level of support continues to make the channel possible.
Thanks for watching. Until next time, thanks for being a part of the five watt world.

I can narrow my personal history as an artist down to two eras; before I had a 6120 and after. It was worth every dime.

How the gretsch stole Christmas, i see what you did there, Keith, now if only santa would actually gift me a 6120, now that'd be a Holly Gretschy Christmas.......

I'm 63, been playing guitar for 50 years and just got my first Gretsch. I feel like I'm starting over.

Has Joe Walsh ever given someone a guitar that didn't rock their world? One of my fondest memories was going to see The Eagles at Soldier Field in Chicago as a birthday present for my Wife, who's a big Eagles fan. It was a pretty tame show until Joe Walsh decided it was time to rock the house. A roadie strapped him into his talkbox rig, and he blew us away with some of his best solo material. I'm sure anyone who's seen Joe play live can relate to how creative he can be.

Hi Keith, loved this video. When I was 15 living in Guayaquil, Ecuador (South America) I had a big Beatles poster hanging over my bed and George Harrison’s Gretsch was like an unattainable dream. A few months later a teacher from my high school told me that a friend of his was selling a Gretsch so my father took me to a very shabby part of town where a salsa bandleader had a very badly beaten hollow body Country Club hanging from a wall with a clothes hanger wrapped around the neck. My father saw the destroyed guitar but also saw that I wanted it very badly so he bought it for me for what is now the equivalent of 25 dollars. In my teenage ingenuity y cleaned it and took it apart and kept every nut and bolt in a bag, almost ten years later I took it to a proper luthier to be rebuilt. I’m 45 now and I play that guitar every single day. I haven’t really restored it in full (apart from a big dent that it had in the wood near the jack) because for me every scratch and old knob represents a life of sounds and vitality that this particular Gretsch Country Club from 1977 has brought to me. It’s my treasure. Thank you for this.

I appreciate the mention of Poison Ivey of the Cramps! 👍

Great video Keith! Thanks so much for having me be a part of it. I love my 6120. Now if I can get my 56 Gretsch Firebird fully restored I might have a contender.

That first chord heard oozed Gretsch.

So happy you mentioned Poison Ivy of the Cramps! Have seen her play live many times with her Gretsch! Sadly the band is no more.

I love the Japanese Gretsches, so well constructed.

I remember playing a Country Gentleman waaaay back in the mid '70's, and not being impressed. I really thought of Gretsch as a drum company, and that their guitars were an afterthought. But last year, I picked up a brand new Gretsch Streamliner 2420, and I couldn't believe how great it played and sounded. Holy crap. I bought it immediately. I cannot believe this is their "mid-priced" guitar. I paid just over $500 for it; first new guitar I've ever bought. It came out of the box almost perfectly set up. A great guitar and an even greater value. Count me in as a Gretsch believer.

Back when I knew little about guitars I just assumed that "Won't Get Fooled Again" and other songs on Who's Next were recorded with the Gibson SG-through-a-Hiwatt rig that Pete Townshend used live in the late '60s. (A smaller Hiwatt.) Little did I know...

Bachman, Turner, Overdrive: their guitarist Randy talked came up studying jazz and under the tutelage of the great master and one of my all time favorite players, Lenny Breau. They were both from Canada. He’s the documentary that Lenny’s daughter produced. Chet Atkins, another Gretsch legend is featured as Lenny’s surrogate father figure and recorded several of his albums in Nashville.

I only have two recent Electromatics, but they’re incredibly well made, good looking and great sounding. Go, Gretsch!

Whenever I am in a guitar shop...Fenders are nice, Gibsons are expensive, then there are other brands full of jagged edges for the hard stuff...but I always slip among the Gretsches. Classic shape and all the colours you can imagine and not that big that you would hide behind them...oohh. And then there's the sound.

Ok Hypes, I always wondered why they have this numbering system. They are just like Marshall in that way. Love the YouTube award behind you. Congrats!! I love the images you use in this short history.
