Every few years, Custom Shop's 6130 Roundup Relic comes in!A stunning reproduction of the 1955 Spec Roundup.
The original Gretsch solid Model 6130 Round Up was produced in 1953, 1955, and 1957 in very small quantities, and the original is an extremely rare collector's item. The original is a highly rare collector's item.
As the model name suggests, pine wood with knotty knots was used for the top. By book-matching the wood, a symmetrical and unique look is created. It is rare to find such a beautiful top even in the original. The color depends on the color of the top material, but this one is a slightly reddish orange.
The bridge is a synchro-sonic bridge, commonly known as a “melita bridge,” which was used only on the top models of the time, such as the Falcon, the “G brand” on the body top, the western motif leather trim on the body sides, and the “Cow & Cactus” position marks. Cow & Cactus” ingraved block inlays. The pickguard has a unique toadoid pattern with a beautiful steer motif, and a belt buckle mounted on the G-tailpiece, a feature unique to this model, asserts “The Gretsch Guitar”.
The body back and neck are made of mahogany. Although it is often compared to the Les Paul, it is a fundamentally different guitar because of its flange neck joint structure, which originated from the full acoustic guitar.
The pure and rich Dyna Sonic P.U. produces a warm hollow feel that is unique to Gretsch, and the acoustic sound produced by the body construction of the mid-50s is beautifully output. Although there is no sustain, the twangy wound string sound makes you think “this is the Gretsch tone”.
This guitar was made by the top section of Fender, and it has a vintage aura. Of course, this guitar has not only artistic decoration and looks, but also superb sound. There is no reason for this guitar to be bad, since it is made by a modern master craftsman.
There is no doubt that this is one of the best roundups in history.The case is the most luxurious “50s Chet Atkins Guitar Case” reissued in Western White!
