| As rare as they come! Back in the mid 1950's the folks at the Gretsch® factory thought it would be a great idea to utilize the unique visual characteristics of knotty pine wood on a guitar. And if that wasn’t enough, they fused an actual ‘western’ belt buckle to the tailpiece for additional cowboy mojo. These rare original 6130 Knotty Pine guitars built during the Gretsch Brooklyn, New York era fetch major dollars on today’s vintage market. Now offered for the first time in limited quantities in over 50 years is the G6130 Knotty Pine Roundup! You'll want to holler, "Yee-haa! Gitty-up!" when you gaze upon the arched book-matched knotty pine top with engraved 'G' brand western leather bound body, graced with the infamous western buckle tailpiece and steer head pickguard. You may even start wearing spurs when you see the detail of the cacti, fences and steer heads engraved on the block pearloid fretboard inlays and steer head on the headstock. Like the originals, "That Great Gretsch Sound" is produced by the combination of DynaSonic™ pickups and a Synchro-Sonic™ bridge floating on a one piece chambered mahogany body.
