From Our Research Team:

Great Tone, Legendary Name!

The Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollowbody is a throwback to the classic hollowbody guitars Chet Atkins made famous in the '50s and '60s. The flame maple top, back, and sides are absolutely stunning and lend a more modern vibe to this legendary guitar. The ebony fingerboard is adorned with neo-classic thumbnail inlays. The hollowbody of the 6120 Chet Atkins hollowbody is loaded with High Sensitive Filter'Tron pickups, and a gold Bigsby B6 tailpiece provides the classic "twang" that made Gretsch a favorite of country and rockabilly players. The 6120 Chet Atkins hollowbody is a great-playing classic!

Recommended Accessories

Sweetwater ALWAYS exceeds my expectation in sales, customer service and knowledge on the gear being sold to me. Sweetwater is my #1 choice to buy equipment from the first time I ordered. I find of great value the fact that I don't feel like one more customer, rather THE customer.

I have had this Rockabilly Axe for a few years now and still loving it. It sure has that famous "Gretsch Sound", and it's only getting better with age. It takes you back to when Chet Atkins was stil... read more [+]l playing regularly with the Gretsch guitars, and that sound they produced was amazing. I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone that wants to get that sound that theses guitar produce. Very comfortable to play also. No wonder why Brian Setzer only plays Gretsch guitars on stage! close [-]
