That's why Gretsch gave their G6122-6212GE Vintage Select 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman a pair of TV Classic pickups. Designed to sound just like the humbuckers found in '50s and '60s Gretsch guitars, these pickups give your guitar a bright and open sound that's jangly on your highs with the kind of bite you'd normally associate with single-coil pickups. It's the perfect sound for rock, rockabilly, blues, country, and more.Two volume controls + one tone control = exceptional sonic flexibilityIt's easy to stereotype the Gretsch G6122-6212GE Vintage Select 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman until you play it, and then you realize you can pull off a lot of tonal tricks with it. With a volume control for each pickup, you can create your perfect balance between warmth, bite, and brilliance when both pickups are engaged.

And thanks to the master volume control, you can take your tube amp from clean to growling without changing the balance between your pickups.
