Vintage original circa 1966 Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean model 6119 in original Burgundy finish.

A stunning example with superb playability and tone.

Original Hi-Lo Tron pickups are super warm with a real Beatles like tone. Real round and organic.

Neck is straight and plays great all the way up and down without buzz or issues.

No cracks or breaks, the guitar is very clean and well cared for.

It is completely original except for the serial number which appears to have a plaque over it with a different, random serial number. Not sure why. Guitar is absolutely correct.

Comes with original hardshell case.
