This 1999 Gretsch G6119 Tennessee Rose was made in Japan, and is in fantastic shape for its age. All electronics work as they should, and these Filtertron pickups sound wonderful. The guitar is currently setup with nice low action, and the strings ring out clearly across the board. There is very minimal fret wear. The original owner must not have played the guitar much. No idea why, because this guitar plays great. The case is in very good condition, as well. It even still has the case candy and truss rod tool, as shown in the pictures.
