Usually, the only way a left handed player can get a hold of a Gretsch with a Bigsby is to buy from the significantly more expensive Professional Collection. Also! Right-handed Electromatics come with ‘licensed’ Bigsbys which are not available in a left handed configuration. This means that Gretsch has installed USA-made B6 units on these limited edition southpaws. So these two are pretty special!
Sounds good? Well there’s some slight bad news for some of you… These guitars are exclusive to the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), but I know that won’t stop some of you!
These guitars are available to buy right now. There will be 100 of the Orange Stain and 78 of the Fairlane Blue worldwide.
