GRETSCH "EDDIE
COCHRAN" 6120
Rockabilly Legend
Eddie Cochran Remembered
With G6120w-1957 Model Guitar As one of the
newest additions to the professional line of guitars in 2001, the Gretsch Guitar Company
will introduce the G6120W-1957 model hollow body electric guitar at the Winter
NAMM show in Ahaheim.
The G6120W-1957
reproduces the look and distinctive sound of early rock legend Eddie Cochran's
model 6120 guitar. Cochran was one of rock's first guitar heroes and Gretsch's first rock
'n' roll star. Many of Cochran's singles, such as the classic "Summertime
Blues", included That Great Gretsch Sound. Cochran, whose promising career was
tragically cut short as a result of a fatal automobile accident, was memorialized in two
Hollywood rock films in the 1950s, "The Girl Can't Help It" and "Go,
Johnny, Go".
This beautiful
single-cutaway guitar features an arched maple top and maple sides and back. The body and
oversized f-holes are bound with multiple white and white/black bindings. Joining the body
at the 14th fret, the rock maple neck features an ebony fingerboard with Western motif
engraved block inlays, and 22 frets. Electronics include one P-90 neck pickup and 1
DynaSonic bridge pickup, a pickup selector switch, master volume and master tone
controls, and two volume controls. Also featured is a polished aluminum Bigsby vibratotailpiece. A transparent Gretsch
pickguard with "Nashville" signpost adds a finishing touch along with the classic
"G" brand on the guitar's lower left bout.
