I have friends who are Gretsch aficionados, and it seems that ’58 is the year to have. It was the first year of the Filter’Tron, and those are the shit. I have three ’58s, all in the Chet line: a 6120 [Chet Atkins Hollowbody], a 6119 [Chet Atkins Tennessean] and a 6122 [Chet Atkins Country Gentleman].
“When I bought this guitar, the neck pickup was considerably hotter than the bridge,” Fortus recalls. “I swapped them around and now it sounds amazing. I have a Gibson ES-330 as well, but this Casino sounds better.”
