Period-correct Gretsch w/TV Jones Pickups and Bigsby
Made famous by the Beatles’ George Harrison, the Gretsch G6122T-62GE Vintage Select 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman hollowbody electric guitar captures the essence of rock ‘n’ roll. Its arched maple body yields a deliciously open snap that’s beautifully enhanced by a pair of vintage-voiced TV Jones Classic humbuckers. The result is a refined, articulate tone and full, larger-than-life playing experience. This guitar’s standard U-shaped maple neck and 12″-radius ebony fingerboard are enormously comfortable, regardless of your fret-hand style. With a Bigsby tailpiece and period-correct specs, the Gretsch G6122T-62GE Vintage Select 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman hollowbody electric guitar delivers authentic early ’60s pop tone.
Arched maple body provides your tone with excellent definition
Maple has to be one of the most lively, bright, and colorful tonewoods out there, which is exactly why Gretsch decided to make their G6122T-62GE Vintage Select 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman almost entirely out of this wonderful wood. We’ve found that this hollowbody’s arched body yields a wonderfully snappy, open tone that, when combined with the dynamic sound of its TV Jones Classic pickups, cuts through a dense mix and sounds great in any situation.
TV Jones Classic pickups deliver timeless Gretsch tone
When you want that classic ’50s-era Gretsch tone, you need real TV Jones humbuckers. That’s why Gretsch gave their G6122T-62GE Vintage Select 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman a pair of TV Classic pickups. Designed to sound just like the humbuckers found in ’50s and ’60s Gretsch guitars, these pickups give your guitar a bright and open sound that’s jangly on your highs with the kind of bite you’d normally associate with single-coil pickups. It’s the perfect sound for rock, rockabilly, blues, country, and more.
Three volume controls + one tone switch = exceptional sonic flexibility
It’s easy to stereotype the Gretsch G6122T-62GE Vintage Select 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman until you play it, and then you realize you can pull off a lot of tonal tricks with it. With a volume control for each pickup, you can create your perfect balance between warmth, bite, and brilliance when both pickups are engaged. The 3-way tone selector switch lets you fine-tune your sound once you have the pickups dialed in. And thanks to the master volume control, you can take your tube amp from clean to growling without changing the balance between your pickups. Of course, you’ll get sweet tone from the neck and bridge pickups individually, but there’s a lot of territory to cover when you combine them.
Bigsby tailpiece yields smooth vibrato action
Nothing beats the character and vintage vibe that a real Bigsby-style tailpiece adds to the Gretsch G6122T-62GE Vintage Select 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman. Based on the original design created by Paul A. Bigsby, this Bigsby Licensed tailpiece requires next to no effort to use, making it particularly easy to pull off slow, subtle, and extended bends.
