Propably the “Holy Grail” of Gretsch guitars, here we have a outstanding clean 1959 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins hollowbody guitar. Hard to believe, but everything is in original and unrefinished, near MINT! condition. The two Filtertron PUs have outputs of N=4,09K and B=4,28K, the weight is 3,5Kg and both pots are dated 18th week of 1959. One of the best examples we´ve ever seen, with a unfaded, rich orange color and almost no playwear, no binding-issues and the original frets are still in perfect shape. Comes in its original, clean Gretsch “Cowboy-Case”, white with Western-motiv tooled leather trim.
