Gretsch G6122T-62 Vintage Select Chet Atkins Country Gentleman Hollow Body w/Bigsby, Walnut Stain
Made famous by The Beatles' George Harrison, the 1962 Country Gentleman is the sound of rock 'n' roll.
The G6122T-62 Vintage Select Edition '62 Chet Atkins® Country Gentleman® Hollow Body with Bigsby® has the unmistakable sound and style that marked the beginning of a musical invasion. Sonically, this guitar is ready to tear it up with a flexible tone that fits any musical situation.
A pair of TV Jones® Classic pickups responds to every pick stroke or strum with a refined, articulate tone. Traditional Gretsch controls - including per-pickup volume controls, master volume, and a three-way tone switch - allow you to create countless tonal variations for a personalized tone. The new Gretsch "Squeezebox" capacitors deliver silky vintage high-end. The standard "U"-shaped maple neck bears a 12"-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and zero-fret for a memorable playing experience that works with any style. The sealed body with simulated F-holes minimizes feedback while providing for authentically vintage tone. A pinned "rocking" bar bridge reacts in concert with the Bigsby B6GVT vibrato tailpiece for stable tuning while the bone nut lets the strings slide freely without binding in the slots.
A true rock 'n' roll classic, this guitar features the appointments that made this guitar a legend - dual foam string mutes with red felt surrounds, standby switch, laminated 3-ply maple top, gold G-arrow control knobs, aged white binding with black purfling, gloss urethane finish, aged pearloid thumbnail inlays, gold vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo and gold Grover® Imperial™ tuning machines. A distinguished instrument from the earliest days of the British Invasion, the G6122T-62 Vintage Select Edition '62 Chet Atkins® Country Gentleman® Hollow Body with Bigsby® is the guitar that laid down the foundation of rock as we know it.
