One of the most iconic instruments from the golden era of vintage Gretsch guitars, the 6120 has become synonymous with the sound and style of Chet Atkins and other great country players of the period.
This 2023 Gretsch G6120T-59 Vintage Select '59 Chet Atkins Hollow Body delivers vintage tone, smooth playability, and iconic style. Whether on stage or in the studio, this classic hollow body guitar offers rich dynamics and effortless versatility. A pair of TV Jones Classic pickups provides articulate and dynamic tone, while traditional Gretsch controls, including individual volume knobs for each pickup, a master volume, and a three-position tone switch, allow for precise sound shaping.
The vintage "V"-shaped maple neck features a 12"-radius ebony fingerboard for a smooth playing feel, complemented by 1959 trestle bracing for a snappy, resonant tone. A pinned "rocking" bar bridge works in harmony with the Bigsby B6CVT vibrato tailpiece, ensuring stable tuning and expressive pitch control. Nickel Grover Sta-Tite tuners and a genuine bone nut provide reliable tuning stability and smooth string movement. True to Gretsch’s heritage, the guitar is finished with aged white binding, G-arrow control knobs, a gold plexi pickguard, and a durable gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, capturing the timeless aesthetics of a vintage classic.
