Cosmetic Condition: Used, but not abused, with signs of typical play wear for its age – various nicks, chips, dents & dings, scratches, weather checking & some finish wear.

Here we have one of the ultimate Gretsch collector’s items! This is a 1958 Gretsch 6120 in a custom black finish. As you may know, there are no custom color 6120s. This is the only known example, aside from the guitars Gretsch built for Chet Atkins himself. The only other black 6120 is the legendary black one played extensively by Atkins throughout his career. The guitar features its original humbucker pickups (this was very early in the game for Humbuckers), original Bigsby tremolo system, and all other original parts. I’ve uploaded a photo here of the guitar being played by its original owner in 1960. The guitar is in excellent condition, and plays like a dream! All electronics function as they should. The original hardshell case is also included. The item “1958 Gretsch 6120 Black One-of-a-kind Custom Guitar Chet Atkins” is in sale since Sunday, May 19, 2019.

1989 Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman w/ OHSC! These are great guitars and this one is no exception. Very complete guitars with excellent specs and made very well. This particular one is pretty clean overall with some light marks here and there and one spot of wear that goes through the finish on the back and a ding on the front of the headstock. The guitar plays well and sounds great! Check the specs and you’ll see that these would be very expensive these days if made new again. They ceased production around 2000. This is the earlier model with the unique red neck inlays, ebony board, tuners with winders, etc. Comes with original hardshell case with some scuffs and marks. Some three decades after. Chet Atkins debuted his original Country Gentleman model from the Gretsch. Company, he approached Gibson with some design refinements for a new version of the legendary model. The new instrument would be shallower in depth to make it easier to hold, have wider spaced pickups to facilitate fingerstyle play, and have a lighter weight body block (the guitar itself isn’t light) to add sustain and curb feedback. A handily placed master volume knob, classic Bigsby, and generous 1 3/4 neck all ensured that the player had everything right at the fingertips. The result was the Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman. The item “1989 Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman Archtop Electric Guitar! L5 super 400″ is in sale since Friday, May 4, 2018. This item is in the category “Musical Instruments & Gear\Guitars & Basses\Electric Guitars”. The seller is “blackminicooper” and is located in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
