Description
The guitar that catapulted Gretsch sales into the stratosphere when George Harrison played one on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. The Gretsch 6122 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman, The top-drawer signature model, designed by Atkins with Gretsch, launched in 1957. This one looks the part - all that gold hardware, the imperial tuners, the "Country Gentleman" headstock plaque, those unique half-moon fretboard inlays, the Bigsby B6G, smooth as they come, each knob imprinted with the G-arrow logo, and that lovely walnut finish. And then there's how it plays and sounds - perfect action and intonation from zero fret to rocking bar bridge, the contrast between the neck Super'Tron and bridge Filter'Tron pick-ups, and the three-way tone switch in place of tone pots. A proper, versatile vintage hollow-body. In great condition for its age, Yes, it has its nicks and dents, but they're surprisingly few for a guitar this old. If you've ever wanted to get closer to mid-period Beatles, this is the one for you. Happy to include a support pack at no extra cost, with: - Hercules Mini Stand - Strap - Clip-on Tuner - Cleaning Cloth - Complimentary Plectrums. Happy to meet personally in London to hand over. And if this isn't the one for you, check out my other guitar, amp and pedal listings!

Sam F borrowed 1972 Fender Precision Bass Guitar, Classic Sunburst
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Iain was incredibly helpful, polite and enthusiastic, and even provided an extra bag of useful tools, including a clip-on tuner. The 1972 Fender Precision Bass and amp were in pristine condition, sounded incredible and genuinely elevated our rehearsal session. Excellent service all round – I’ll absolutely be hiring from Iain again.
