Here for sale we have a Gretsch G6122-1959 Chet Atkins ”1959 Nashville Classic” Country Gentleman in a stunning Walnut finish. Built in Japan in 2006, this guitar features a Laminated Flamed Maple top, back and sides along with a Maple neck and a 22 Medium Jumbo fret Ebony fingerboard. The Gold hardware featured consists of a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, a ‘Rocking Bar’ bridge and a set of Grover Imperial tuning machines. The pickups featured are a pair of TV Jones pickups with a Classic Plus in the bridge and a Super-Tron Classic in the neck position, these are wired to a 3-way selector, master volume, master tone and a bridge volume control. The Maple neck sits comfortably in hand, with the Standard ‘U’ profile feeling slim and quick, providing a comfortable and ergonomic playing surface, as well as comfortable thumb positioning in any register. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck provides effortless navigation up and down the neck, whilst the 12" radius Ebony fingerboard provides a nicely flat and consistent playing experience right the way up the register. The single cutaway body design provides great access to the higher frets, great for those fast lead lines, whilst the thinner, 2.25″ body thickness provides comfort in both standing and seated playing positions, making longer durations of play a breeze. The hollow construction provides a responsive and resonant tone, with the ‘Trestle’ bracing which is specifically voiced to provide full hollow body tones from the thinner, 2.25″ body. This construction improves tone by increasing sustain and decreasing feedback, this provides a unpronounced yet well defined low end that is complimented by a warm midrange and detailed high frequencies. The pair of TV Jones pickups provide a thick, warm voicing, with a distinct top-end that is articulate and well-defined. The simplistic control layout keeps things light and breezy, with easy and intuitive tonal shaping that feels nicely responsive to small changes, allowing you to tweak your tone right on the guitar.
