Description
A throwback to Gretsch’s legendary past, the G6120T-59 Vintage Select Edition ’59 Chet Atkins® Hollow Body with Bigsby® revisits this historic model. Featuring astonishing sound, comfortable playability, and elegantly slick style, this instrument is ready to accompany you on stage or in the studio, bringing out the best in your music and playing. As refined or raw as you need it to be, this guitar will be an invaluable centerpiece of your sonic arsenal.
A pair of the ever-popular TV Jones® Classic pickups create a high-quality sound with plenty of dynamics and articulation at your fingertips. The traditional Gretsch controls, including dedicated volume controls for the neck and bridge pickups, the master volume, and the classic three-position tone switch, allow you to blend and shape the pickup sound, creating countless tonal variations. The new Gretsch “Squeezebox” capacitors deliver incredibly smooth highs. The vintage “V” shaped maple neck features an ebony fingerboard with a 12-inch radius and 22 frets for a classic playing experience that works with all musical styles. The 1959 trestle bracing connects the top and back of this guitar for an authentic and punchy vintage sound. A fixed “rocking” bar bridge works in concert with the Bigsby B6CVT vibrato for stable tuning, while the genuine vintage-style bone nut allows the strings to slide freely without catching in the slots.
Designed for pure sound and comfortable, smooth playability, this guitar sports the classic aesthetics that true Gretsch fans adore – nickel G-arrow control knobs, aged white binding with black purfling, durable glossy nitrocellulose lacquer finish, aged pearl thumbprint inlays, vintage-style thick plexiglass gold pickguard with Gretsch logo, and nickel-plated precision Grover® Sta-Tite™ tuners. Elegant style and refined sound come together to make the G6120T-59 Vintage Select Edition ’59 Chet Atkins® Hollow Body with Bigsby® the dream guitar of a Gretsch aficionado.
