Couldn't load pickup availability
The #6122 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman is famous for being the second Gretsch guitar in 1963, replacing the Duo Jet used by George Harrison during The Beatles' debut period.
The wood material of the maple body, two-piece maple neck, and ebony fingerboard, with a 17-inch-wide, 2-inch-thick double cutaway body; the "simulated f-holes" drawn without an open f-hole, and the big mute mechanism near the bridge are the Country Gentleman's greatest feature.
The head is equipped with a metal plate engraved with the model name and serial number "47611" (used since 1957), "GRETSCH" block logo (used since 1958), large truss rod cover (used since the mid-60s), and Grover 150 Step Button, aka Imperial. The guitar is equipped with a
Maple neck with ebony fingerboard features 24 1/2" scale, bone nut, 0 frets, and "Thumbnail Position Mark" semi-circular position mark with mother-of-pearl on the side of the fingerboard face, 1958 or later.
The maple body with a beautiful violin-like fiddle back flame is equipped with two filter-trons with PAT number engraved covers, a big mute mechanism and Bibsby B-6 Gold.
Controls are Pickup Selector / Master Tone Selector / Master Vol / Neck PU Vol / Bridge PU Vol / Standby Switch / String Mute (treble string side / bass string side).
The back of the body is open for the mute mechanism, and a pad is attached to cover the lid.
Hardware is gold parts, with metal "G" Arrow knob, straight bar bridge, and green pickguard made in our factory since 1957.
The pot date is "6223", which can be read in only one place, and is most likely original as no parts replacement can be seen.
There are some cracks and repair marks on the binding, peeling paint, and weather checks characteristic of Gretsch, but there are no problems with use, and we have confirmed that the truss rod turns 45 degrees both tight and loose.
The truss rod is confirmed to turn 45 degrees both tight and loose. The frets are low, but they are original, and have been rubbed together, leaving about 50% remaining.
This is a George Harrison, right in the middle! Please take it when you can find it!

The Beatlesデビュー期にGeorge Harrisonが使用していたDuo Jetに代わって1963年に2本目のGretschギターとして使用していたことでも有名な#6122 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman。
メイプル・ボディに2ピース・メイプルネック、エボニー指板のウッドマテリアルに17インチ幅、2インチ厚のダブル・カッタウェイ・ボディ。fホールは空いておらず描かれた「シュミレイテッド・fホール」や、ブリッジ近くにビックミュート機構を備えていることはカントリー・ジェントルマンの最大の特徴。
ヘッドには1957年以降採用されている、モデル名やシリアルナンバー「47611」が刻印されたメタルプレートや1958年以降の「GRETSCH」ブロック・ロゴ、60年代半ば以降のラージ・トラスロッドカバー、Grover製150 Step Button通称インペリアルを搭載。
エボニー指板のメイプルネックには24 1/2インチスケールやボーン・ナット、0フレットを採用し、指板面のサイドにマザー・オブ・パールを使用した半円状のポジションマーク「Thumbnail Position Mark」採用の1958年以降の仕様。
バイオリンのような美しいフィドルバックフレイムの出たメイプルボディにはPATナンバー刻印カバーのフィルタートロンを2基、ビック・ミュート機構やBibsby B-6 Goldを搭載。
コントロールはPickup Selector / Master Tone Selector / Master Vol / Neck PU Vol / Bridge PU Vol / Standby Switch / String Mute(高音弦側/低音弦側) となっております。
ボディバックには、ミュート機構のためバックが空いており、蓋をカバーするパットがつけられております。
ハードウェアはゴールドパーツを使用し、1957年以降の自社工場製作のMetal "G" Arrowノブや、ストレート・バー・ブリッジ、グリーンピックガードを使用。
ポットデイトは一箇所のみ読み取ることができ「6223」で、パーツ交換のが見受けられないためオリジナルである可能性が高いです。
グレッチ特有の経年によるバインディングの割れや補修跡、塗装の剥がれ、ウェザーチェックなど有りますが使用には問題なく、トラスロッドは締め・緩めともに45度回ることを確認しております。
フレットは元から低いものが使用されておりますがオリジナルで、擦り合せがされており、残り約5割り程度残っております。
ジョージ・ハリソンど真ん中の個体!有るときに是非!
