The instrument has a bold acoustic voice that's both smooth and present, and these pickups compliment the guitar's acoustic properties, with incredible clarity and top end chime. Produced in the Pre-Baldwin era of manufacturing when production totals were smaller and quality generally higher, this Tennessean is lightweight at 7lbs 3oz. This Gretsch has been professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with fresh 11-49 roundwound strings, easy-playing action and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Wood: Two-piece maple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Shape: Substantial C, generous shoulders, measuring .895” 1st fret, .965” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Fretboard: Bound rosewood, thumbnail inlay\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Frets: Slender, light wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-3\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Scale Length: 24.6”\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Nut: 1 11\/16” (measured at zero fret)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Headstock: “T-roof” logo, “Chet Atkins Tennessean Model” plaque\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Tuners: Waverly open-gear\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Serialization: 27-prefix (five-digit) serial dates to February, 1967\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Pickups: Original Hilo-Tron pickups\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Controls: Volume x2, Master Volume on cutaway, Three-position Tone switch (bypassed in middle), Three-way pickup selector, three-way On\/Off\/On kill switch\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Hardware: G pointer knobs, B6G Bigsby vibrato and roller bridge, plenty of height at thumbwheels for future adjustment, “G” silkscreen graphics on pickup covers are intact\u003cbr\u003e\r\n-Plastics: Silver plexi pickguard\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMost of the binding is intact, albeit with extensive checking and a number of small chips, and the binding has been professionally stabilized.
