Description

This 1960 Chet Atkins 6120 pays tribute to the legendary musician who forever reshaped country music by infusing it with jazz influences. To support Chet’s groundbreaking style, Gretsch crafted this elegant instrument, designed to meet his exacting needs. With its stunning flamed maple body in a Western Orange finish, bound body and F-holes, custom pickguard, and Bigsby tailpiece, this guitar exudes sophistication and flair.

Thanks to several well-executed repairs, it remains in excellent playing condition. The work includes a refret, neck reset, finish touch-ups, a replaced master volume pot, replaced inlays, and new neck binding. Playing effortlessly with low action, this 6120 is as functional as it is iconic. It comes complete with its original hardshell case.
