Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean 1961 Western Red

1961′ custom order GRETSCH CHET ATKINS TENNESSEAN

This unusual model came out of the Gretsch factory at a time when production was a bit « rock’n’roll » , and custom orders were still possible .

It results in a CHET ATKINS TENNESSEAN 6119 model with one switch and two filtertron pickups (in place of the regular 2 hilotrons , or one filtertron in bridge) .

The Bigsby was later remplaced with a Gretsch tailpiece by the owner .
