Gretsch G6120W Chet Atkins Nashville Western Hollow Body  

                 (the reserve has been lowered from the previous listing)

This modern version of the classic 6120W Chet Atkins Western Hollow Body guitar features a 16"-wide, 2.5"-deep full hollow body, rock maple neck, ebony fingerboard with full western appointments, including a "G" brand on the upper bout, western-engraved fingerboard inlays and a horseshoe head headstock inlay. Dual High Sensitive Filter'Tron™ pickups, Grover® Rotomatic® machine heads, Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, and Bigsby® B6G vibrato tailpiece. Grover® Sta-Tite™ machine heads, "arrow" knobs, aged binding, gold hardware and Western Maple Stain finish.

This is a unique guitar, Gretsch no longer offers this combination, FilterTron pick-ups on a Western 6120. There is not a scratch or ding on the guitar body. There is a couple small marks on the back of the neck and some small scratches on the pick guard. I don't think you can see them in the pictures, overall for a used guitar it is in great condition, neck straight, all original hardware, plays like a dream, and will give you all the hard rocking Townsend muscle found on Who’s Next, that classic Setzer rockabilly twang, as well as Neil Young’s trademark electric sound. Beautiful neck inlays of western motif, arrow, riffle, cactus, steer head. Guitar includes the original Gretsch 6120 hardshell case, case has a little road wear. I also have the origional unsigned warranty card.
