A stunning beauty!

The sound that defined a generation! Gretsch went way back to the archives for this stunning Atkins beauty, and the 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! The Chet Atkins Hollow Body 1959 LTV has all the features and specs of its brother, the G6120-1959 Chet Atkins Hollow Body, but Gretsch added a lacquer finish and TV Jones Classic pickups to put this baby way over the top!

It is just like the one I played decades ago, except that this one is brand new, AND IT'S MINE! Thanks, Ryan at Sweetwater, for this great guitar. close [-]
