Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars

Manu Chao used a Gretsch 6120 DC Chet Atkins Nashville extensively during his career with the french band Mano Negra (see for example this live video of the song "Pas assez de toi" : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSvklUkAVk8&list=RDOSvklUkAVk8&start_radio=1) as well as during his solo career (see for example this live video, at 2:30 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q6TjM1bQBE). Judging by the knobs layout and the plate on the headstock, we can confirm that this is the DC "Chet Atkins Nashville" model.
