Description
The Gretsch 6199 Convertible “Sal Salvador” is a distinctive late-’50s archtop with a striking Lotus Ivory and Copper Mist finish combination, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, and single DeArmond pickup. Its simple volume/tone layout keeps the focus on the warm, open electric archtop voice and stylish period-correct presentation.

Presented in great used condition, this 1957 example remains largely original with its original pickup, tuners, and electronics intact. The bridge is non-original, and it comes housed in a hardshell case.
