The Gretsch 6122 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman is a refined hollowbody classic that blends elegance, clarity, and unmistakable Gretsch character. Its flamed maple body delivers warm, controlled resonance, while the ebony fingerboard and comfortable maple neck provide a smooth, confident playing feel. Dual TV Jones Super’Tron Classic Plus pickups offer articulate definition with rich harmonic depth, perfectly suited for clean sophistication and expressive nuance. Finished in gold nitrocellulose with a Bigsby vibrato, this Japan-made Country Gentleman feels thoughtfully crafted and musically inspiring—an iconic, performance-ready instrument and a timeless investment for players who value tone, touch, and heritage.
