USED Gretsch / 1964 6120 Chet Atkins Nashville Double Cutaway [05]

Gretsch 1964 6120 Chet Atkins Nashville Double Cutaway is now in stock!

The #6120 was introduced in 1954 as the signature model of legendary country guitarist Chet Atkins. Originally named "Chet Atkins Hollow Body," it was renamed "Nashville" in 1964.

The collaboration with Chet Atkins was to have a major impact on the direction of Gretsch in the years to come, leading to the "Chet Series," which produced the Country Gentleman in 1957 and the Tennesian in 1958, and also influenced the development of the Filter-Tron pickups in the same year. The same year also influenced the development of the "Filter-Tron" pickup.

This 1964 Nashville features a double cutaway, Filter-Tron pickups, dummy f-holes, mutes, back cover, and horseshoe head inlays, among other features. The inlay in particular represents a horse's hoof, which is believed to ward off evil and bring good luck, and is also the face of Gretsch. The zero fretboard allows for a natural sound even when playing open chords.

The material is maple body with maple neck and ebony fingerboard. The pickups are two Filtertrons with original patent numbers, and the tremolo is a V-cut Bigsby with Gretsch logo.

Controls consist of a master volume, volume for each PU, PU selector and preset tone control, and a mute switch.

The binding has not been peeled off, and it is assumed that some repairs have been made. The nuts and frets have been replaced, and playability has been ensured.

The serial number indicates that the guitar was made in 1964, but the pot date is 1965, so the pot has been replaced as well.

The neck is in relatively good condition, so the playability of this vintage guitar has been ensured.
