The G6120T-59 Vintage Select ’59 Chet Atkins is a hollow body electric guitar featuring a laminated maple body with a beautiful arched top. The guitar’s unique shape, known as the “single cutaway,” allows for easy access to the higher frets and is one of the distinguishing characteristics of Gretsch guitars. The body is adorned with a stunning Western Orange Stain finish, complemented by aged white binding and gold hardware, which adds a touch of elegance and class to the overall appearance.
The neck of this guitar is made from maple and features a comfortable standard U-shaped profile. It is capped with a 12-inch radius ebony fingerboard, which houses 22 medium jumbo frets and is adorned with eye-catching Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays. The scale length of the G6120T-59 is 24.6 inches, providing a perfect balance between playability and tonal richness.
One of the standout features of this guitar is the Bigsby B6G vibrato tailpiece, which not only adds to the vintage aesthetic but also provides players with the ability to add subtle pitch modulation and expressive vibrato to their playing. The guitar also comes equipped with a pinned rocking bar bridge, ensuring excellent intonation and stability.
