Description
This is the Tennessee Rose model G6119-1962HT from Gretsch's Professional Collection. This guitar is built to the specs the original 1962 Tennessee Rose with just a few modern appointments yielding a guitar with great vintage style and modern functionality. The G6119-1962 features a "Zero" Fret, HiLo'Tron pickups, rocking bar bridge, and simulated F-Holes, all of which are 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, neck angle, and classic warm tones. The HiLo'Tron single coil pickups have a really nice snappy tone with excellent clarity and note definition. The neck pickup has a springy quality to it and the bridge pickup is very bright and punchy, approaching Esquire territory. They are relatively low output which yields a warm, woody tone from the guitar. We are a long standing, fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a B-Stock 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!
