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!

Tuomas H borrowed Dean Markley Acoustic Single Coil Guitar Pick-up
Great pick-up, I've used it multiple times with Iain's Martin D-28. Always a pleasure to hire from Iain, service is excellent and the instruments are simply wonderful!
Tuomas H borrowed Classic Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar
My personal favourite of Iain's acoustic guitars. Sounds incredible and is super comfortable to play. Always a pleasure to hire from Iain, service is excellent and the instruments are simply wonderful!
Tuomas H borrowed Millman Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, with Fishman Pick-up
This Millman Dreadnought has a great sound! We played a duo show with this guitar combined with the Martin D-28 acoustic guitar and they sounded very lush together. Highly recommended!
