This Brand-new Limited Chet Atkins Looks Like a Vintage Instrument!

The Gretsch G6120SWR Chet Atkins Relic hollowbody electric guitar is more than a celebration of a legendary guitarist. This ultra-limited (only 50 made) instrument is made to actually look like it came from its original time period! The G6120SWR Chet Atkins Relic features a maple body with a "relic'd" finish that gives it the appearance of a well-played vintage instrument. It also includes a maple/walnut/maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard, a Bigsby bridge and trem tailpiece, and two great-sounding single-coil pickups for that signature Chet tone. Built by master luthier Stephen Stern, the G6120SWR Chet Atkins Relic looks and plays like a classic.

Gretsch G6120SWR Chet Atkins Relic Limited-edition Hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
Brand-new vintage
When Gretsch decided to make the G6120SWR Chet Atkins Relic, they left no detail unattended. From the vintage nitrocellulose finish to the "aged" hardware, this guitar looks as if it could've actually been played by Chet Atkins - but it's actually a brand-new instrument! We're honored to have received one of these ultra-limited guitars here at Sweetwater, ready to find a good home with a lucky customer.

Classic Gretsch features
From the maple back/sides/top and single-cutaway body style to the Bigsby tailpiece and classic-style single-coil pickups, the Gretsch G6120SWR Chet Atkins Relic features the kind of construction and components that made the original sound so great. This "relic'd" edition goes the extra mile, giving you the looks of a well-loved vintage instrument to match. Gold-plated "aged" hardware and a special finish add to the vibe of this already amazing guitar, specially built by master luthier Stephen Stern.

The sound of a legend
When Gretsch's Chet Atkins namesake guitars began appearing in 2007, it marked a "return home" for the legacy of a legendary guitarist. Chet began working with Gretsch in the mid-1950s, and the first 6120 models appeared soon after. The guitarist's rising stature made his namesake guitars "must haves" for musicians seeking quality instruments with a distinctive sound - and these guitars famously bridged the gap between country, rockabilly, and rock and roll during a decade that changed the world of music forever. If you want that magical combination of twang, depth, and character, this guitar will put you in tone heaven!

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
