Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins 1964

Now available on consignment, a 1964 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins.

This particular example of a mid 60s 6120 presents in overall decent shape, with typical signs of play wear including some dings and fret wear.

As is typical on this era Gretsch, there is some binding rot mainly around the neck heel, however overall the neck binding especially is in decent shape, though with a fair amount of cracks to note on the edges of the body. The only changes on this guitar are two replaced pots, a modern repro strap pin on the tailpiece, and one switch tip. The original tailpiece strap button has been fitted to the standby switch-tip.

Features include 2x Filtertron humbucking pickups, a laminate maple body with back-pad, maple neck, ebony fingerboard, Grover tuners, and a Gretsch branded Bigsby vibrato. Other features include the double cut body shape, horse shoe inlay on the headstock, and painted f-holes as well.

This guitar has been recently set up with a set of D’Addario 11-49’s in the shop and is ready to play. The original frets are low but playable.

Includes its original hardshell case that is in fair but solid condition.
