Overview

The 1957 Chet Atkins solid body featured the same specs as the 1954 - 1956 model, with the exception of the original engraved block inlays, and a horseshoe headstock inlay instead of the original steer. 1957 models used both the "humpback" and "thumbprint" style inlays. The 6121 was updated in 1958, moving from DeArmond single coil pickups to Gretsch's Filter'tron humbuckers, along with other changes to the control circuit.
