{"product_id":"868835","title":"GRETSCH VINTAGE 6122 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman '67","description":"Founded in 1883, Gretsch has supplied a wide range of musical instruments over the years. In the 1950s, they began developing electric guitars, and continue to produce attractive guitars to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The '6122 Country Gentleman' was released in 1958 alongside the Tennessean as the top model in the Chet Atkins signature series. Based on a thin 2-inch body, a 17-inch body shape with simulated f-holes for a closed soundhole body, multi-ply body binding, and gold hardware, it has undergone changes such as the transition from a single cutaway to a double cutaway and other specification modifications, and remains one of Gretsch's most popular models to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The total weight is approximately 3.75 kg. The body is made of maple with a hollow construction. This period's models feature a 17-inch double-cutaway shape, a closed soundhole using simulated f-holes, and a single mute. The body color is mahogany brown, which beautifully showcases the maple grain. It's nice that the body binding, which deteriorates with age, has been replaced. As a result, there is some overspray around the binding. There are some minor scratches, cracks in the pickguard, and tarnishing on the metal parts, but it can be said to be in relatively good condition. The sponge in the mute has been replaced, and the bridge has been replaced with a Schaller roller saddle type. The Bigsby unit has been modified for easier use by removing the pin that hooks the ball end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck is made of maple, and the fingerboard is made of ebony. It features a luxurious design with a plate bearing the model name on the headstock. Like the body, the binding, which deteriorates with age, has been replaced, and as a result, there is some overspray on the back of the neck. There is some age-appropriate weather checking on the headstock, some minor dents on the back of the neck, and some tarnishing on the metal parts, but like the body, it is in relatively good condition. The tuners function properly with no problems with winding tension. The frets and nut have been replaced, and the playability is good. The nut width is 42.5mm. It features a relatively solid neck shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical System]\u003cbr\u003e The familiar controls from the Chet Atkins series—master volume, individual pickup volume controls, standby switch, pickup selector switch, and tone switch—are all in their original condition, including the internal components. It is equipped with two \"Filter 'Tron\" pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The hollow maple body and ebony fingerboard contribute to a clear, articulate sound with a well-defined contour. The low frequencies are tight and controlled, while the mid-high frequencies have a brilliant attack and a moderate amount of compression, allowing each note to stand out clearly when playing chords. The front pickup delivers a warm tone with added roundness and luster, while the rear pickup provides a light and crisp tone, making it suitable for a wide range of genres, from country and rockabilly to late 1960s pop and rock—a sound that is characteristic of Gretsch guitars of that era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: General-purpose gig bag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.75kg\u003cbr\u003e Body Material (Top\/Side\u0026amp;Back): Maple 1 piece\/Maple\/Maple 1 piece w\/4 ply Binding Hollow, 17inch\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material\/Scale Length: Maple 2 piece\/622mm (24-1\/2inch)\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard\/Fret Marker\/Radius: Ebony\/Pearloid thumbprint\/12inch (304.8mm)\u003cbr\u003e Bridge\/Tail:\/Schaller STM Bridge (replaced)\/Gretsch Bigsby B-6 Gold\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width\/Fret Width: 42.5mm (replaced)\/2.0mm (replaced)\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/10F): 20.5mm\/23.1mm\/24.5mm\u003cbr\u003e Pickup (Neck\/Bridge): Gretsch Filter 'Tron, Gold (4.4kΩ\/4.3kΩ)\u003cbr\u003e *The DC resistance value of the pickup is measured after passing through the control section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"GRETSCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67583105269873,"sku":"868835","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/868835_01.jpg?v=1790578177","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hant\/products\/868835","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
