Gretsch 6122ii Chet Atkins Country Gentleman

Gretsch 6122ii Chet Atkins Country Gentleman (2010) is constructed in the style of the classic “Gents” of the 1960s with just a few modern appointments, including an Adjustomatic bridge and a neck joined to the body at the 18th fret.

The Gretsch 6122ii Chet Atkins Country Gentleman skips a few features found on the traditional Country Gentleman that many modern players may not need, like a Zero Fret, and muffler system. These alterations make the guitar perfect for someone looking for the classic Gent style with just a few modern appointments and contemporary design and playability. The guitar is all Pro-series Gretsch with perfect playability and neck angle and classic warm tones. The FilterTrons are bright and snappy with deep bass response and great vintage character. They sound great when played clean or with a bit of overdrive as well.

This modern version of the classic double-cutaway Country Gentleman features a rock maple neck joined at the 18th fret for easy access to the upper registers. Other features include a 17″ body with open f-holes, twin High Sensitive Filter’Tron^TM pickups, Adjusto-Matic^TM bridge and Bigsby® B6G vibrato tailpiece.
