1964 Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman 6122 Walnut Stain
No sales tax for customers outside California.
Here we have a beautifully preserved 1964 Gretsch 6122 - the best example you're likely to find. It very closely resembles Elvis' 1964 Country Gent.
The guitar is 100% original. There is some light fretwear, but so little that you could play regularly for years before needing work. There is light loss of the gold on the tuner buttons, bridge, pickups and Bigsby tailpiece - honest playwear.
There is no binding rot present on the guitar, which you will often see on Gretsch guitars of this era.
The neck plays great and the truss rod has room for future truss rod adjustments. The guitar set up very nicely and plays with great action with the 11 gauge strings we installed.
The original case is in stunningly clean condition, and there is a bunch of original paperwork included. There is even a tag for the case from the maker of the case covering material - I've never seen that piece of case candy!
This is a killer collector's package that you can also play without concern for being the first to enjoy the guitar.
