HIGHLIGHTS:

Maple Body with Chambered Maple Center Block

Meeting at the intersection of hollow body and center block designs, the G6618-MG features a 2.375” deep laminated maple body with a chambered maple center block under the hood. The combination of the deep body and chambered maple center block delivers a unique mix of resonance and attack, with the center block providing snap and focus, and the deeper body bringing a level of airiness to the sound.

TV Jones TV-HT Pickups

The G6618-MG features TV Jones® TV-HT single-coil pickups. TV Jones’ take on the classic Gretsch Hilo’Tron™ pickup, the TV-HT pickups closely replicate the original Hilo’Tron™ recipe but with a slightly hotter bridge pickup, giving the sound more presence and power. These pickups deliver exceptional clarity with a tight, twangy bass response, crisp highs, and a touch of natural midrange, making them well suited for classic and modern sounds alike.
