One of Gretsch's most revered models, the Chet Atkins has retained icon status since 1954. This legendary hollow body features dual Filter'Tron pickups, a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, and painted f-holes. 

This guitar is in Good Vintage condition with generally light wear and tear for an instrument of this age. One crack on the headstock has been repaired. As is often the case with vintage Gretsch guitars, the celluloid binding is deteriorating, and the off-gassing has led to some discoloration of the frets and metal hardware. The celluloid pickguard has been removed, likely due to its deterioration as well. 

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.  

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
