Gretsch G6120T-55 Vintage Select Edition '55 Chet Atkins Hollow Body With Bigsby Overview

The names Chet Aktins and Gretsch have become synonymous with some of the most iconic and stylish guitars ever made - the G6120T-55 Vintage Select Edition, with its laminated flamed Maple body, aged Pearloid block fingerboard inlays, Bigsby tremolo, aged white with black binding, and classic Western Orange Stain Lacquer finish, being a prime example.

Built to a period-correct specification, this classic hollow-bodied Gretsch is without a doubt one to put a smile on the face of any who see, hear, or play it. Pickups are a pair of vintage-voiced TV Jones® T-Armond single coils, so that classic Gretsch twang and tone is available in abundance; combine it with the Standard U-shaped maple neck, highly playable rosewood fingerboard, pinned aluminum compensated bridge, and the essential Bigsby tremolo, and the term "Pure Gretsch" has never been so relevant.

What Gretsch say:

Co-designed with the guitarist’s guitarist, Chet Atkins, the venerable 6120 is one of the most widely heard Gretsch instruments.
