Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: Some of the frets were coming out of the fretboard, and our luthier reseated them and glued them into place. All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required.
Experience the unmistakable chime of a true American classic! This Gretsch G6120 '59 Special Edition Chet Atkins is a magnificent musical investment, featuring an iconic Hollow Body and elegant Single Cutaway design, built with resonant Laminated Maple. The 1959 Style Trestle Bracing delivers that legendary, air-filled Gretsch voice, while the Vintage "V" Maple Neck and smooth Ebony fingerboard with Neo-Classic™ Thumbnail Inlays offer supremely comfortable playability. This isn't just a gorgeous instrument; it's a meticulously crafted, rock-solid specimen, finished in brilliant Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer, ready to inspire your best playing for years to come!
