Description

This 1957 Chet Atkins 6120 is named after and inspired by the man who helped change the course of country music forever, Chet Atkins. To introduce his jazz inspired playing to the vernacular of country music, Chet would need the proper tool, and Gretsch answered the call with this regal instrument. Featuring a gorgeous burnt orange finish, bound body and F-Holes, a custom pickguard and Bigsby tailpiece, this guitar was not for the bashful. It remains in solid condition for its age, with its biggest sign of wear being buckle rash and reglued headstock wings. The binding is still in great shape with only a few minor repairs, which is never a given with vintage Gretsch instruments. Take your country music pickin' to the next level with this Chet Atkins 6120.Includes OHSC.
