That one has been listed and re-listed for a few months now.
It isn't the same as Hank's example, a 1960 model, which had the thinner body, a zero fret and the later-type "V-cut" Gretsch-branded Bigsby.

At least they mention that it's a replica built in 2007, not the genuine one shortly owned by Hank Marvin, which didn't use it on "many" records !

"Shortly owned"?
Hank owned his Gretsch for about twelve years!
Bruce obviously had his own Gretsch 6120 by 31st December 1960 (he played it on British TV that evening and he has stated that he bought a Gretsch after Hank bought his 6122). And Hank sold his Gretsch (via what had by then become the Baldwin-Burns retail shop at St Giles Circus) in 1972...

I was listening to a radio interview with Hank regarding a Gretsch on a site somewhere recently and tried to find it again but it's transcribed here with more information
