In celebration of the that milestone, Gretsch is releasing several new guitar and amplifier models, including the Custom Shop Chet Atkins G6120 125th Anniversary Limited Edition guitar in Transparent Orange finish over real gold leaf. This master-built model features gold-plated hardware and TV Jones® Classic pickups. The guitar, which is limited to 25 pieces worldwide, includes an anniversary strap and belt buckle hand-tooled by legendary leather craftsman, Tom Nix.

Additionally, Gretsch is releasing the G6118T-LTV 125th Anniversary model, which features the ultra-rare Jaguar Tan top and Metallic Gold back and sides. The G6118T-LTV is the first model to include the new "ML" bracing, which synchronizes the vibration of the top and back for increased acoustical openness in tone.

Love Corvette artist model (G. Love & Special Sauce), and the latest addition to the Gretsch amplifier line — the Gretsch Electromatic® G5222 amp, which features five watts, two tubes and two inputs wrapped in a cabinet that is undeniably "Gretsch."
