Up for sale, a 1989 Gretsch 6122 “Country Classic II” Chet Atkins Country Gentleman in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtag. A first-year example of the Country Classic II model, this guitar was made in the years prior to Gretsch's acquisition by Fender, boasting the high quality craftsmanship and exceptional fit and finish work associated with Gretsch's Japanese revival.
Whether you seek Nashville twang or a quintessential George Harrison British Invasion tone, you can't beat the Gretsch G6122. With a 17" fully hollow slim maple body, this Gretsch has an immediate note attack, and a clear, balanced acoustic tone that's enhanced by the midrange character of the Filter'Tron humbuckers. This guitar delivers a full sonic spectrum, with round, punchy notes on the wound strings and plenty of chewy treble sparkle. This 6122 weighs 8lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 roundwound strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.
