Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 2020 Gretsch G6120SH Brian Setzer Hot Rod Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Purple Metallic.
The Brian Setzer Hot Rod is a stripped-down, high-performance take on the classic Gretsch 6120—built for punch, snap, and unmistakable rockabilly attitude. With its minimalist control layout and powerful Filter’Tron-style tone, this model delivers explosive attack, clear articulation, and that signature Gretsch twang that cuts through any mix.
Finished in eye-catching Purple Metallic, this guitar makes a bold statement on stage while retaining the vintage-inspired feel and sound that Setzer fans love.
This guitar comes with its Original Hardshell Case (OHSC). The tuners have been upgraded to Sperzel locking tuners for improved tuning stability and ease of string changes. As a result, the original tuner holes have been professionally patched—a cosmetic-only modification that does not affect performance.
Condition is rated at 9.2/10 – Very Good, showing light hardware aging, minimal play wear, light surface scratches throughout, and a light scuff on the top of the headstock. Overall, it is a clean, well-maintained player with excellent functionality.
