Gretsch G6120T 59 Vintage Select Chet Atkins with Bigsby, Orange Overview
The Gretsch G6120T 59 Vintage Select Chet Atkins delivers the quintessential country twang that made Chet Atkins so legendary. With two TV Jones Classic humbuckers, it delivers a gorgeous retro tone with plenty of snap and growl, whisking you back to the golden era that was the '50s. The humbuckers' balanced sonic response lends itself to numerous genres and playing techniques, whilst always producing well-defined lows and shimmering, clear highs.
Airy chords and scintillating riffs - they're all possible with a laminated maple hollow body. Natural acoustic projection exudes from a pair of 'F' holes, whilst the maple build alleviates any of the pesky feedback usually associated with hollow-body sound. You'll then have the real bone nut for enhanced resonance and sustain. And to top it off, there is the rocking bar bridge and Bigsby B6CVT vibrato tailpiece for an added dimension of shimmering, warbling pitch bends and secure, stable tuning.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionIconic, vintage tone
Experience a glorious vintage tone that is still unmistakably you. Equipped at the neck and bridge positions are TV Jones TV Classic pickups. They're wonderfully refined and respond brilliantly to every nuance of sound with a great retro feel, projecting vintage snap and growl. Their tone resides between the sweet brightness of a single coil and the fatter sound of a humbucker, giving you wondrously unique sonic characteristics with clean, glassy trebles and tight lows.
Dreamy hollow-body sound
Lightweight, vintage, and undeniably beautiful. The hollow body of the G6120T stays true to the '59 original, demonstrating that effortless playability, sensational sound, and dazzling aesthetics can come in one premium-quality package. Crafted from laminated maple, the hollow construction delivers a stunningly rich, articulate tone with crisp overtones, absent of feedback thanks to the defined, focused response of maple. A pair of 'F' soundholes then allow for magnificent, natural sound projection and the classic look that is associated with '50s guitars.
Sensational stability
From just a glance, it's obvious that this guitar is meant to thrive off incredible playing techniques. From insane vibrato to crazy pitch bends, the "rocking" bar bridge, Bigsby B6G Vibrato tailpiece, and Grover Sta-Tite tuning machines allow you to be as expressive as you like whilst making sure you have precise intonation and the ultimate tuning stability. Keep your strings firmly in place after you've entranced your audience with your wild skill. Feel the thrill of being able to play freely. It's not a dream and it's not wishful thinking, you really can go to ridiculous lengths with the Bigsby vibrato and still be securely in tune.
Classic appointments
As well as its stunning, retro tone, the '59 Vintage Select Chet Atkins includes a range of features that are instantly recognisable. It's a Gretsch masterpiece.
