Описание: http://www.frettedamericana.com/detai...

This exceptionally rare model 6192 weighs just 7.20 lbs. and features a triple-bound 6120 style sixteen inch wide single cutaway 2 3/4 inch thick body with a one-piece rock maple back and sides and a one-piece spruce top with two double-bound "Cats-Eye" sound holes. Three piece spruce/ebony/spruce neck with an ebony fretboard with five-ply binding with 21 frets and pearl hump block position markers and red side dots. Headstock triple-bound and inlaid pearl Gretsch "T-roof" logo and large 'bell-shaped' two layer plastic truss-rod cover. A nice comfortable nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches, a wonderful medium neck profile, and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Individual Grover Imperial tuners with 'stairstep' metal buttons. Two DeArmond Gretsch Dynasonic (Fidela-tone), single coil pickups, with outputs of 3.04k and 3.07k. Gold Lucite pickguard with Gretsch "T-roof" logo in relief in black (engraved from the underside). Three controls on the lower treble bout (volume for each pickup and master tone) and one control on the cutaway bout (master volume) plus one three-way pickup selector switch on upper bass bout. The potentiometers are stamped "134 619" (Centralab May 1956). Gretsch "Arrow-through-G" with cross-hatch pattern side control knobs. Melita Synchro-Sonic bridge on ebony base and "G" cutout tailpiece. All hardware gold-plated. Original Gretsch rectangular white label with the model number "6192" stamped in blue, and the serial number "47056" typed in black, inside bass "f" hole. Examination under ultra-violet light has revealed that the neck on this guitar was professionally reset at some time and that an additional strap button hole was filled in at that time. There is a small area of binding shrinkage on the back just by the cutaway, but there is no damage to the binding. There is a small area of playing wear on the bass side of the neck between the third and the eighth frets. The guitar has been expertly re-fretted and is perfectly set up, is very comfortable to play, and has quite an amazing tone. A truly unique example. Housed in the original Gretsch two-tone gray hardshell case with maroon plush lining (8.75).
