1961 Gretsch 6117 Double Anniversary Lefty

Serial # 42186. Ultra rare and ultra cool - that's how we like to describe any left handed vintage Gretsch. This time we're talking about a 1961 Sunburst Double Anniversary. The Anniversary model was introduced in '58 to commemorate the Company's 75th birthday, and the "Double" refers to the 2-pickup model. Full hollow cut-away 16" body, laminate maple body sunburst finished on all sides, Hi-Lo 'Tron pickups, unbound 24.5" scale ebony fingerboard with pearl thumbprint inlays, maple neck, chrome hardware. This guitar has had a pro neck reset and plays perfectly. Aside from a newer bone nut and a couple of replaced tailpiece screws this guitar is completely stock and 100%. It's gorgeous, and it's a lefty; what more is there to say?! Oh... you'll get the original "OK Card" hang tag with the guitar!
With original hard shell case
