Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
Now known better as the Chet Atkins Country Gentleman, the 6122-1959 has the classic looks, feel, and sound you've been looking for. The Super'Tron pickups are bright, articulate and responsive, especially when paired with the ebony fingerboard.

That Great Gretsch Sound!
Since 1883, when 27-year-old Friedrich Gretsch founded his little shop in Brooklyn, N.Y., making banjos, drums and tambourines, The Gretsch Company has grown to produce some of the world’s greatest drums and guitars over the span of four generations.
With its emphasis on hand-craftsmanship and commitment to quality, Gretsch has pioneered new designs and manufacturing techniques, winning endorsements from some of the music industry’s most respected artists, including Chet Atkins, Bono, Charlie Watts, Brian Setzer, Steve Ferrone, Neil Young, and Phil Collins.
Gretsch also owns and manufactures some of the other most popular and historic music industry products and brands including Bigsby® Vibratos and Sho-Bud® Pedal Steel Guitars.
