Gretsch Country Gentleman 1965, Walnut

This 1965 Gretsch Country Gentleman captures the elegant styling and unmistakable tone that made the model one of Gretsch’s most iconic instruments during the golden era of electric guitar design. Built with a fully maple construction, ebony fingerboard, and classic double-cutaway body shape, the Country Gentleman delivers the airy resonance, smooth response, and articulate attack that defined countless recordings of the 1960s. The combination of original Super’Tron and Filter’Tron pickups provides a broad tonal range with sparkling cleans, warm lows, and the focused upper-mid clarity Gretsch guitars are famous for.
Outfitted with original Grover Imperial tuners and Bigsby vibrato, this example retains the sophisticated visual character and expressive feel that made the Country Gentleman a favorite among professional players. The lightweight construction and large hollow body give the guitar an exceptionally open and dynamic response, while the ebony fingerboard adds snap and articulation to both chord work and lead playing. With its blend of vintage elegance, unmistakable Gretsch chime, and authentic mid-1960s character, this Country Gentleman remains a standout example of one of Gretsch’s most celebrated models.
