Sweet Solid Body Tone!

Though Gretsch is most famous for their hollowbody guitars, one shouldn't overlook their line of classic solidbodied instruments. The Chet Atkins Solid Body sports a chambered body crafted from select mahogany, a one piece "Action Flow" mahogany neck, and Gretsch "rocking" bar bridge. Electronically, the Solid Body has Filter'Tron pickups and a Bigsby B3 provides the classic vibrato sound that's synonymous with Gretsch guitars.
