Pre Owned Gretsch G6122-1958 Country Classic Walnut Stain Hollow-Body Electric Guitar With OHSC
Experience superb tones with this Gretsch G6122-1958 Country Classic! It predates Gretsch’s reunion with the Chet Atkins branding so the guitar is technically called a “Country Classic” and that is what is inscribed on the decorative headstock plate.
The Professional Collection was created by Gretsch to offer the highest standard for the discriminating player that wants that great Gretsch sound. They spared no expense to both recreate the sound and feel of their original electric guitars of the 50's and 60's and to offer models with more modern advancements. You can certainly have your Grandpa's Gretsch recreated with stunning authenticity, but you can also have a guitar that exceeds all standards of modern precision guitar building!
The single-cutaway closed hollow body has simulated f holes, trestle bracing, arched top and vintage walnut stain finish. The three-piece maple neck has an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl Neo Classic™ thumbnail inlays and polished brass nut. Other features include dual High Sensitive Filter'Tron™ pickups, three-position pickup switch, three-position master tone switch, gold plexi pickguard with "Chet Atkins" signpost, aged binding (body, fingerboard and headstock), "rocking bar" bridge, gold-plated Grover® Imperial™ tuners, gold headstock nameplate and Bigsby® B6CB vibrato tailpiece.
This guitar packs a punch with its impressive size and powerful tone. It offers flawless playability and the classic warm tones you desire. The bridge position Filter'Tron produces a bright and snappy sound, while the neck pickup delivers deep bass response and vintage charm. Whether played clean or with a touch of overdrive, this guitar will always sound amazing.
We just took this one in, which is nice & clean, in excellent condition, and comes with the original hardshell case. The guitar has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop, and is ready for it's next home. For anything that wants a Gretsch Country Classic, there isn't a better one to find out there, especially at this price.
