Gretsch G6122T-59 Vintage Select Edition '59 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman with Bigsby Electric Guitar

The Gretsch G6122T-59 Vintage Select Edition '59 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman brings back the golden-era looks and tone of the original late-1950s Country Gentleman, finished in a warm Walnut Stain gloss nitrocellulose lacquer over a tiger flame laminated maple body. The double-cutaway hollow body carries aged white binding with black purfling and a gold vintage thick plexi pickguard, giving the guitar an unmistakably vintage, high-contrast visual identity, while the Bigsby B6GWVT vibrato tailpiece adds authentic period-correct sustain and shimmer to every note.

TV Jones Super'Tron pickups, a Classic Plus in the bridge and a standard Super'Tron in the neck, deliver the warm yet articulate tone the Country Gentleman is famous for, controlled through individual bridge pickup volume plus master volume and tone knobs wired with Gretsch's Squeezebox capacitors for smooth, musical tone shaping. A maple neck with a standard U profile and ebony fingerboard, 12" radius, 22 vintage-style small frets, and aged pearloid thumbnail inlays keeps playability comfortable across the full 25.5" scale, ideal for players chasing genuine vintage Gretsch hollow-body tone and looks with modern reliability, and the guitar arrives complete with a Gretsch deluxe hardshell case.
