Features
A pair of TV Jones Classic pickups responds to every pick stroke or strum with a refined, articulate tone. Traditional Gretsch controls, including per-pickup volume controls, master volume, and a three-way tone switch allow you to create countless tonal variations for a personalized tone. The new Gretsch ‘Squeezebox’ capacitors deliver silky vintage high-end. The standard ‘U’-shaped maple neck bears a 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and zero-fret for a memorable playing experience that works with any style. The sealed laminated maple body with simulated F-holes minimizes feedback while providing for authentically vintage tone. A pinned ‘rocking’ bar bridge reacts in concert with the Bigsby B6GVT vibrato tailpiece for stable tuning while the bone nut lets the strings slide freely without binding in the slots. A true rock 'n' roll classic, this guitar features the appointments that made this guitar a legend - dual foam string mutes with red felt surrounds, standby switch, laminated 3-ply maple top, gold G-arrow control knobs, aged white binding with black purfling, gloss urethane finish, aged pearloid thumbnail inlays, gold vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo and gold Grover Imperial tuning machines. A distinguished instrument from the earliest days of the British Invasion, the G6122T-62 Vintage Select Edition '62 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman Hollow Body with Bigsby is the guitar that laid down the foundation of rock as fans know it.
