The Gretsch G6120T-59 Vintage Select Edition '59 Chet Atkins Hollow Body with Bigsby is a faithful revival of one of the most iconic guitars in Gretsch history. With its deep roots in Nashville's golden era, this beautifully crafted instrument features laminated maple construction and 1959-style trestle bracing for that unmistakable Gretsch snap, clarity, and vintage warmth. Finished in a stunning Vintage Orange Stain lacquer and topped with a solid nitrocellulose gloss, the G6120T-59 exudes classic appeal from every angle.
This 2022-built guitar is in superb condition, with only minor playwear and a perfect medium action, and captures the classic tone of the late 50's 6120's - tight low end, sparkling top end a smooth midrange that sounds phenomenal with overdrive. The TV Jones Filter'trons are smooth and refined with plenty of grunt when you need it, and the whole guitar feels alive thanks to the lighht build quality and high-quality tonewoods. An absolute classic Gresch hollowbody, and it's orange! Includes original hardshell case.
