Here for sale we have a Gretsch G6120DC Chet Atkins Hollow Body Electric Guitar in Orange Stain finish. Made in Japan in 2007, this set-neck constructed guitar features a Laminated Maple body, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Ebony fingerboard. Other appointments include Neo-Classical "Thumbnail" inlays, a Bigsby B6C Vibrato Tailpiece, Grover Sta-Tite Die-Cast tuners, Gold-Plated Hardware, and a Single Lever Activated String Mute. The pickups installed are a set of Gretsch High Sensitive Filter’Tron pickups that are wired to a master volume, two independent volume controls, a 3-way kill switch, and a 3-way tone switch.
The Maple neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Thin ‘U’ profile filling the hand without being overly thick, this offers a balanced and smooth playing experience. The frets and 12" radius provide a robust and smooth playing experience all across the fingerboard, and enhance string bending and vibrato techniques. The double cutaway body design allows the player to access the higher register with ease, allowing for fast lead lines without any obstruction.
The High Sensitive Filter’Tron pickups have a rich, open tone, with a warm low end, a tight and creamy midrange, along with an airy, articulate top end, providing loads of clarity across a wide range of tonal settings. The individual pickup volume knobs and 3-way tone switch help to inspire the exploration of different tones and sounds that can be made with the guitar. The G6120DC Chet Atkins produces that unmistakable 'Gretsch Sound' that the brand is so famous for, and is guaranteed to inspire any guitarist to play in ways that they have never before.
