From Our Research Team:

A classic beauty from Gretsch!

The sound that defined a generation! Gretsch went way back to the archives for this stunning Atkins beauty, and their new G6120-1959 Chet Atkins Hollow Body guitar is as fast and easy to play now as it was back in its heyday! All the details are here, including a Gretsch block-letter and horseshoe headstock logo, zero-fret nut (at Chet's request), ebony fingerboard, Neo-Classic "thumbnail" inlays, B6 Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, and trestle bracing. Put your top down, because this baby will take you on a trip down memory lane!
