967 Gretsch 6117 Double Anniversary – a true piece of American guitar history. Originally introduced in 1958 to celebrate Gretsch’s 75th anniversary, the 6117 was designed as a stylish yet affordable alternative to the more ornate Chet Atkins models. By 1967, the Double Anniversary had firmly established itself as a workhorse for players who wanted professional tone without the flash. This model features the classic sunburst finish introduced in the early '60s, a nod to mid-century design that remains instantly recognizable. The dual HiLo’Tron pickups offer bright, articulate tones perfect for rockabilly, country, jazz, and early rock ‘n’ roll – exactly what Gretsch guitars became famous for. The lightweight laminated maple body provides airy resonance, while the bound neck and rosewood fingerboard ensure smooth playability. All original with a mellow patina and just the right amount of vintage vibe, this 6117 is a stage- or studio-ready time capsule.
