Clear, articulate tones with TV Jones pickups
The G6618-MG features TV Jones TV-HT single-coil pickups that are known for their clear, articulate sound. Whether you’re playing clean or with distortion, these pickups ensure you cut through the mix without sacrificing warmth or definition. Ideal for players looking for versatility, these pickups handle everything from rock to more experimental electronic-inspired sounds.
Enhanced sustain with chambered center block
The chambered maple center block in this model provides enhanced sustain and reduced feedback. This makes it great for both live and studio settings, especially in louder environments where feedback can be an issue. The chambered design also lightens the guitar’s overall weight, making it more comfortable to play for extended periods.
Versatile controls for fine-tuning your sound
With individual volume controls for each pickup, a master volume with a treble bleed circuit, and a three-position tone switch, the G6618-MG allows you to shape your sound precisely. Whether you want a bright, cutting tone or a warmer, more mellow sound, these controls give you the flexibility to dial in exactly what you need.
Signature style with custom features
This signature model pays tribute to Martin Gore with several unique design elements, including a custom “MG” head badge and a two-tone Smoke Green finish. The Gretsch G-cutout tailpiece not only looks stunning but also adds to the guitar’s tuning stability, making it as reliable as it is stylish. Made in Japan to exacting standards, this hollowbody guitar offers premium quality and playability. You also get a premium hardshell case to keep your instrument safe on the road.
