This is the Country Gentleman model G6122-1962 from Gretsch's Professional Collection. This guitar is constructed in the style of the classic "Gents" of the early1960's. It features all the bells & whistles developed by Mr. Chet Atkins along with the ambitious designers at Gretsch. The ’62 spec Gent features simulated F-holes, “zero” fret and a rocking bar bridge. Gretsch slightly redesigned the dual mute system and it functions flawlessly. The modern tone switch circuitry used on new Gretsch guitars is also perhaps an improvement on the original designs with more useful tone roll-off settings. The guitar is all Pro-series Gretsch with perfect playability and neck angle and classic warm tones. The FilterTrons are bright and snappy with deep bass response and great vintage character. They sound great when played clean or with a bit of overdrive as well. We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This guitar comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and our in house 1 year warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call!
