Up for sale, a 2012 Gretsch G6120 Chet Atkins Nashville in showroom clean, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and factory documentation. An unusual iteration of the 6120 platform, this Gretsch features factory installed Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and a pinned Adjusto-matic bridge, ensuring optimal tuning stability, even with liberal Bigsby use. A reissue of the instrument that has defined the Gretsch sound for twang, Western Swing, Rockabilly, and all manner of other genres and niches, this guitar boasts the high quality craftsmanship and exceptional fit and finish work associated with the Terada factory in Japan.
This G6120 features a fully hollow 16" wide maple body with sound post bracing, yielding a rich, percussive voice when strummed acoustically that translates well through the Filter’Tron humbuckers. Plugged in, this 6120 has a broad sonic range, offering a punchy, sparkling bridge position sound that has plenty of muscle and breadth. The neck pickup is fat and smooth, with a distinctive thickness and bark. This Gretsch weighs 7lbs 9oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

-Wood: Maple (two-piece, walnut stringer)
-Shape: Slender soft V, measuring .820” 1st fret, .935” 9th fret

The gloss Western Orange Stain finish is framed by cream binding, with bound oversized F holes, and there is light patina on the gold-plated hardware. There’s scarcely a mark on the body finish, save for a couple microscopic scratches on the rims. The gloss on the neck profile is similarly immaculate.
The original hardshell case is included, along with the factory documentation.
