1965 Gretsch 6122 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman – Walnut

1965 Gretsch Country Gentleman in near excellent condition for its age. These models are known as the “George Harrison – model” as George used this model in the Beatles. The instrument is all original, except for a professional fretjob, which really improved the guitar (orig. frets are in the case). The binding, which often needs to be replaced is in perfect shape, the med.- to thick sized neck is very comfortable to play, everything works fine and the two original Gretsch PUs sound just great! The guitar comes with its original Gretsch two-tone grey hardshellcase with maroon velvet lining.
