Gretsch 1963 6122 Chet Atkins Country Gentlmen Used Electric Guitar 1963

Owning a Gretsch from the same era and year is now almost a miracle. Even with the many reissue models available, that dry, resonant tone and sparkling harmonics can only be found in vintage guitars.

This is one of the two Country Gentleman guitars he owned, made in 1962 and 1963. This particular instrument is a 1963 original, from Gretsch's golden age.

It features simulated F-holes for feedback prevention and a rich, balanced tone from Ray Butts' Filter'Tron pickups. It's the very same model used by George Harrison in 1963.

This guitar allows you to truly experience the resonant tone, the lustrous sheen, and the dry, aged sound that Gretsch guitars of that era possess. It has a presence that seems to capture the very air of that time.

Playing this 1963 Country Gentleman, you'll surely feel it too. That intro, those chords, and that resonance—that era and that sound—are revived right here, right now.

Experience this miraculous vintage sound with the actual instrument.
