2005 Gretsch G6120AM Amber Maple Pre-Chet Atkins Nashville Guitar 6120 w/ohsc

Up for sale, a 2005 Gretsch G6120AM hollowbody electric guitar in exceptional, near mint condition and perfect working order. This guitar is a reissue of the instrument that has defined the Gretsch sound for twang, Western Swing, Rockabilly, and all manner of other genres and niches, accurately reproducing the electronics and build specs that made the original 6120 some of the most resonant, lively, and stunningly cool sounding instruments ever made. Part of Gretsch's "Professional Series" of instruments, this guitar boasts the high quality craftsmanship and exceptional fit and finish work associated with the company's factory in Japan. The guitar is 100% original and essentially identical to the current production "Chet Atkins Nashville" Amber Maple model, but produced prior to Gretsch's addition of the Chet name and signpost pickguard!

Some of the finer points of this Gretsch include the bound archtop body with bound oversized F holes, two-piece maple neck, bound ebony fingerboard with zero fret and Neo-Classic "thumbnail" inlays, three-position pickup switch, three-position master tone switch, gold plexi pickguard, gold-plated hardware, gold-plated Grover Rotomatic tuners, bound headstock, and Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece. With laminated maple construction and sound post bracing, this guitar has a full, percussive, articulate voice when strummed acoustically that translates well through the Filter'Tron pickups. Plugged in, the guitar delivers clarity and fullness in all pickup positions, reproducing complex chord voicings with stunning ease. This guitar has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, with comfortable action, fresh 10-46 strings, and solid intonation.
The two-piece maple neck has a C profile that borders on the mode slender side of things with a hint of a V down near the nut, with an ebony fretboard and neo-classic thumbnail pearloid inlays, as well as a 1 3/4" nut width. The frets are extremely clean, with virtually no wear, well rounded crowns and no buzzing or dead spots. A hand carved bone nut has replaced the original plastic component, greatly increasing the articulation and also the sustain of the instrument. The headstock boasts an inlaid pearloid Gretsch logo and horseshoe, as well as the aforementioned Grover Rotomatic tuners with clean gold plating.

The body sports a striking amber finish, with a deep, glossy sheen that highlights the grain and figuring in the maple. The finish is topped off with two-ply white/black binding, and the gold hardware is virtually flawless, still shining as it did when it was brand new with only faint surface patina on the bass side edge of the bridge. The Adjust-o-Matic bridge has solid intonation and works well with a Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece for surfy warbles and dives that add to the signature Gretsch sound. All of the electronics work as they should with the Filter'Trons wired to three-way pickup selector, three-way tone switch, master volume control, and individual volume controls for each pickup.Cosmetically, the guitar shows virtually no wear with only a few extremely faint scuffs in the clear coat central to the back. While we'll still call this guitar "near mint," it's simply showroom clean and a stunning example of one of Gretsch's most influential and enduring models.

The original hardshell case is included.
