Built to the specs the original 1962 Tennessean model, the G6119T-62 is by far the most authentic vintage spec “Tenny” ever offered by Gretsch! They’ve added aged body binding and a darker cherry finish. The guitar features the  HiLo'Tron pickups, rocking bar bridge, and simulated F-Holes which are all 1962 period correct appointments designed in part by Chet Atkins himself. The body of a Tennessee Rose is a little smaller and thinner then the 6120 and Gent models making it a great choice for someone who does not favor a large hollow body design. The guitar is all Pro-series Gretsch with perfect playability and neck angle and classic warm tones. The new TV Jones HiLo'Tron’s are fantastic recreations of the original Gretsch designs offering a very authentic sound and look. They have a relatively low output which yields a warm woody tone from the guitar drawing out the resonance of the arched maple top. The TV Jones Hilo’Tron’s have a dry snappy tone with improved clarity and note definition. The neck pickup is deep and warm with a bit of twang and the bridge pickup is crisp and punchy. When blended together they are wired to cancel out 60 cycle hum like a Humbucking pickup and it’s very effective.  We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty.

A throwback from the early era of rock ‘n’ roll, the Vintage Select Edition 1962 Chet Atkins Tennessee Rose with Bigsby is a solid performer with the sound and the style that have made Gretsch a household name. Highly resonant, the unique voice of this guitar cuts through any mix, standing out from the crowd with That Great Gretsch Sound!™A pair of rich-sounding TV Jones® Hilo’Tron pickups creates broad tone with lively response, reflecting the natural voice of the guitar. Parallel tone bars connect the top and back of this guitar for authentic vintage tone. Traditional Gretsch controls—individual pickup volume controls, master volume, and the classic three-position tone switch—allow you to blend and shape the pickups’ sound, creating countless tonal variations. With the new Gretsch “Squeezebox” paper-in-oil capacitors, you get incredibly silky vintage high end. A pinned “rocking” bar bridge reacts in tandem with the Bigsby B6CVT vibrato tailpiece for stable tuning while the vintage-style bone nut lets the strings slide freely without binding in the slots. The standard “U”-shaped maple neck bears a 12”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets for a classic playing experience that works with any style.Designed for pure tone and slick, comfortable playing feel, this guitar features the classic aesthetics true Gretsch fans love—nickel “G Arrow” control knobs, aged white binding with black purfling, durable gloss urethane finish, aged pearloid thumbnail inlays, silver vintage thick plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo and nickel Grover® Sta-tite™ tuning machines. A tastefully elegant instrument, inspired by one of guitar’s greatest eras, the Vintage Select Edition 1962 Chet Atkins Tennessee Rose with Bigsby is an inspiring guitar that’s ready to go at any time.Specs:Weight: 7lbs 2oz
