Description

Introducing the Gretsch G6120TM Chet Atkins Signature Hollowbody, a guitar that truly embodies vintage charm and modern playability. This guitar is a faithful recreation of the classic 1959 model, designed with the discerning guitarist in mind. Its Maple body resonates with a bright, lively tone that is beautifully complemented by the guitar's TV Jones Classic pickups. These pickups, steeped in '50s and '60s nostalgia, deliver that iconic Gretsch sound - twangy highs with the punch typically associated with single-coil pickups.

The comfortable Vintage V-shaped maple neck, topped with a sleek ebony fingerboard, ensures a smooth, effortless playing experience. The Gretsch G6120TM offers exceptional sonic flexibility with two volume controls and one tone control, allowing you to tailor your sound to suit any genre.

The guitar's Bigsby tailpiece provides smooth vibrato action, adding character and a vintage vibe to your sound. Made to period-correct specs, this hollowbody electric guitar is a dream come true for any guitar aficionado, combining timeless design with a modern touch.

Key Features:

  • Period-correct version of Chet Atkins's hollowbody electric guitar

  • TV Jones Classic pickups for sweet vintage character
  • Highly playable Vintage V-shaped maple neck with ebony fingerboard

In an episode of "American Pickers" (Season 13, Episode 8), Dan Auerbach is seen checking out a Gretsch G6120TM Chet Atkins Signature Hollowbody guitar. In 2019 Music Radar interview, Auerbach mentions a Gretsch Chet Atkins guitar (that he calls "Rudy") being used while recording 2019 album, "Let's Rock".

Then I also played a Gretsch Chet Atkins a bunch, with the humbuckers in it. I’d never played Gretsch humbuckers and I’d never played Gretsches, so I didn’t realise that it’s the sound of that big, AC/DC-type rock ’n’ roll chord. It had never really dawned on me. So I got into that one on this record and I use that guitar all the time - it’s just a real player. That guitar’s name is Rudy. It’s a one-owner guitar. I bought it from the family of the original owner and he played the shit out of it, so it’s got a real soul to it.

Jerry Reed's first good guitar was the Gretsch Chet Atkins signature model 6120 he was playing when he first met Mr. Guitar. Introduced in 1955, the Gretsch featured a hollow body with open soundholes, two DeArmond pickups, a Bigsby vibrato, and a kitschy western design motif that included engraved block fret markers, a steer's head inlay on the headstock, and a G cattle brand burned into its orange top. Atkins said Duane Eddy was the only player who seemed to get a good sound with this early version of the 6120, but Reed was apparently very fond of the guitar.
