I have been trying for years to find out about the 6113 and I see a couple of other people also have been trying, After finally finding the Gretsch Pages and talking with Baxter and also several e-mails with Dan Duffy (Dan signed my QC card on my 1961 6113) It is now evident that the 6113 had a very short run and according to Dan it is almost nonexistent, This 6113 was never mentioned in any Gretsch book that I could find and some people even thought someone might have made a mistake at the Gretsch factory but now we are finding out that this Gretsch 6113 is a very VERY Rare guitar, I want to thank Tim Baxter and the people here at The Gretsch Pages and Especially Dan Duffy head of Gretsch Quality Control at the time that my Gretsch 6113 was made in 1961, It was an honor to communicate with him and help him identifying the 6113 and finally I got the answer to my 6113 !!! YEAHHHH!!! Cheers, Roger
