1956 Gretsch Chet Atkins Hollowbody (6120) Guitar

(Serial Number #20019) Excellent plus condition, bought from the second owner whose father bought it for him in 1959. All original hardware and finish. Very clean guitar showing minimal playing wear, primarily to the gold plating on the tuner buttons and pickup covers. Bright Cowboy orange finish with a maple top, back and sides with the G brand on the top. All electronics, finish and hardware are original. Original neck set with no binding rot. Single cutaway, Bigsby vibrato, horseshoe peghead logo, single mute with knob on the lower bout, painted on F holes, original signpost and Chet Atkins signature pickguard, unengraved block fretboard inlays, original metal nut, original compensating metal bridge, arrow G knobs, and two Dearmond pickups with gold surrounds. Serial number is stamped on the label inside. Plays nice, sounds killer. No buckle or neck wear, or any real playing wear - this one was taken care of. Plays and sounds great with that classic Gretsch sound that seems to only come with these original ones. Original white case with the Western motif tooled leather trim. Includes the very rare original cows and cactus Gretsch strap.
