From Our Research Team:

Play a Brand-new Mid-'50s Gretsch!

If you want authentic Gretsch vibe, you need an authentic Gretsch. And what could be more authentic than this spectacular G6120DSW Chet Atkins? Nothing, unless you're among the lucky few who got your hands on the original mid-'50s instruments. This hollowbody is the real deal, with an arched maple top, a single cutaway, twangin' single-coil pickups, and a genuine Bigsby tailpiece (complete with a vintage-approved flat handle, no less). Love those Western-style appointments? They're all here, from the "G" brand on the body to the Western-engraved fingerboard markers to the steer's head headstock inlay. This guitar's playing feel and sound are as amazing and full of vibe as its distinctive looks!
