This is a factory-fresh instrument handcrafted in Japan as part of the Gretsch Professional Collection — and it's one of the most sonically versatile guitars Gretsch has ever put into production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6120 Nashville is one of the most widely heard Gretsch instruments in history, and the 1955 version co-designed with Chet Atkins himself is the benchmark against which all others are measured. This Vintage Select Edition stays true to that original design with remarkable fidelity — from the laminated flame maple body with gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish to the early '50s Gretsch headstock and the aged pearloid block inlays with classic Western motif. The Western Orange Stain Lacquer finish is a rich, warm look that suits the instrument's country-roots personality perfectly, and the gold hardware, gold G-arrow knobs, and gold plexi pickguard with artist signature sign post graphic complete a beautifully appointed guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's loaded with a pair of TV Jones T-Armond single-coil pickups that create multi-dimensional tone with plenty of articulate detail — the kind of pickup that rewards a light touch and responds beautifully to pick attack. Traditional Gretsch controls let you blend and shape the pickups' sounds into countless tonal variations, and the Gretsch \"Squeezebox\" capacitor adds an incredibly smooth taper and silky vintage high end that's hard to find on modern instruments. The pinned aluminum compensated bridge pairs with the Bigsby B6GBVF vibrato tailpiece for stable tuning and smooth, expressive vibrato, while the vintage-style polished aluminum nut delivers that signature snappy twang that's essential to the Chet Atkins sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard \"U\"-shaped maple neck has a 12\"-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets — a comfortable, easy-playing feel that works with any fret-hand style, from Atkins-style fingerpicking to flatpicking runs. The aged white binding with black purfling and the laminated flame maple top give the instrument a visual depth and warmth that's immediately striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt ships brand new in its original Gretsch packaging with a hardshell case and all factory documentation. A resurrected blast from the past with elegantly refined style and sound — and a guitar that will satisfy any devotee of Gretsch's golden era.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55127394091300,"sku":"FMIC-2401357822","price":3799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/6733\/9044\/files\/2401357822_gtr_frt_001_rrx.jpg?v=1782240940","url":"https:\/\/tonewolf.com\/products\/gretsch-g6120t-55-vintage-select-edition-55-chet-atkins-hollow-body-with-bigsby-western-orange-stain-lacquer","provider":"Tone Wolf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
