Gretsch 6106 Princess
Another beautiful Gretsch with just one mike.
And pastel colors... Wait! PASTEL????
Believe it or not, this guitar was marketed towards girls. Hence the "Princess" name.
As quoted in the Gretsch catalogue:
"Now for the first time, a guitar that is unmistakably 'hers'. When she's out in front of others, she'll see the admiration in their eyes. Her guitar especially finished in a variety of pastel colors -- the perfect compliment to the guitarist...a Princess guitar with its own compact matching white amplifier and matched guitar case. Feminine in size, light in weight, the Princess is a double cutaway, solid body guitar with carved edges. The neck is joined at the 21st fret -- everything designed and scaled for her ease of playing. The white back is comfortably padded. 24-karat gold plated metal parts. Rosewood fingerboard. Adjustable truss rod neck. Gretsch Hi-Lo'Tron electric pickup. Shoulder strap is of white leather. Modern new control knobs. Adjustable metal bridge. Tone Twister for that exciting tremolo effect...Available in the following colors: White body with Grape Pickguard -- Blue body with White Pickguard -- Pink body with White Pickguard -- White body with Gold Pickguard...$169.00"
So, another Les Paul Jr competitor, aimed at the female market?
So girly, so cute, huh?
So, like this guy from Triggerfinger, I would proudly rock a pink Princess anytime.
How does it sound?
