Description
This is the classic Tennessee Rose model G6119-1962FT from Gretsch's Professional Collection. This guitar is built to the specs an original mid 1960's Tennessean model. The guitar features a "Zero" Fret, Filter'Tron pickups, rocking bar bridge, and simulated F-Holes which are all 1962 period correct appointments designed in part by Chet Atkins himself. The body of a Tennessee Rose is a little smaller and thinner then the 6120 and Gent models making it a great choice for someone who does not favor such a large body design. The guitar is all Pro-series Gretsch with perfect playability and neck angle and classic warm tones. The voice of the guitar is clear and clean with excellent note definition and a warm woody charachter. Filter'Tron pickups offer very low noise and sound fantastic clean but handle quite a bit of overdrive as well! We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call!
