The Gretsch Anniversary model has been around since 1958, Gretsch's 75th anniversary. Since 2003 it has carried the 6118 model number. Ths guitar sports the traditional 'Two Tone' smoke green finish and has the ML bracing system that provides much more sustain and much less feedback than the soundpost bracing, while adding less weight than the Trestle bracing system.
The Anniversary is an great, versatile instrument, with all of the tone and playability of the 6120 at a lower price because of the slightly reduced binding and decoration.
This is a left-handed model, built at the Terada plant in Japan during December of 2009, and plays just as well as the right-handed versions. The left-handed construction isn't an afterthought - even the serial number is in left-handed format, which isn't always the case on some other brands. It is in great condition, with only minor wear.
For hardware, the tuners are Grover Sta-Tites, as typically used on Anniversary models, the pickups are Filter 'Trons with the standard tone switch wiring. There is a Space Control bridge in chrome on an ebony base, and of course a left-handed B6 Bigsby vibrato tailpiece.
The original case is in similarly good shape with all the original case candy.
