Description
The Gretsch G6618-MG Martin Gore Anniversary Center Block pays tribute to one of the most influential musicians in electronic rock, Depeche Mode's Martin Gore. As a signature model, it captures the essence of Gore's unique ability to merge electronic and organic soundscapes, resulting in a guitar that sounds rich and woody but still dynamic and electrifying. For fans of Depeche Mode and high-end Japanese-made Gretsch guitars, the Martin Gore Signature is a must-have instrument.
Featuring a two-tone Smoke Green finish, the G6618-MG stands out with its sleek, eye-catching style. Its iconic F-holes and arched body design enhance the guitar's traditional aesthetic, while the Gretsch G-Cutout tailpiece gives it a timeless look that's bound to turn heads. But it isn't just a visual stunner; the standard "U"-shaped maple neck offers a familiar, comfortable feel, while the 12" radius ebony fingerboard plays like a dream. And, thanks to the Luminlay side dots, you'll hit the right notes every time, even in the darkest settings.
This guitar's signature tone comes from a pair of TV Jones TV-HT pickups, which deliver the legendary Gretsch sound with ample clarity and punch. Whether you need something bright, crisp, and biting or a warm, rounded growl with tight lows, these pickups provide the perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern edge. The three-position toggle switch and tone switch give players further control over their signal, allowing for seamless transitions between rich, full-bodied sounds and hot, sizzlin' leads.
Decked out with a TonePros TP6R bridge with roller saddles, Kluson Deluxe tuners, and a genuine bone nut, the Gretsch G6618-MG Martin Gore Anniversary Center Block offers a premium playing experience from top to bottom. If you've been searching for a limited-edition Gretsch guitar with tons of attitude, you can't beat the G6618-MG.
