Gretsch guitars: 6102 Streamliner

Gretsch 6102 Streamliner
<p>The 6102 and 6103 Streamliners were primarily an attempt to take the perfectly good 6123 Monkees model and make it into something people would want to buy. </p> <p>In other words, they're very close to a 6123, minus the Monkee business. </p> <p>There are, however, a few differences worth noting: Where the 6123 had a unique fretboard with new-classic inlays on both the treble and bass sides of the neck, the Streamliner used the usual bass-side-only setup Gretsch was traditionally known for. </p> <p>Also, Streamliners moved the pickup and tone switches to the upper bass bout. The 6123 grouped all it's controls on the treble side. </p>
