The serial number is from the next to last batch of this model, and the standby switch on the lower bout is seen only on these final examples. The Model 6120 is considered to be the Gretsch company's single most classic creation in its original form. This final evolution of the original 6120 is built with a thinner 2.25\" deep body used only in this year, and the new-style shorter neck heel introduced at the same time. The finish is a slightly translucent medium orange, exactly as seen on the 1962 and later double-cutaway 6120's. With a stock Bigsby tailpiece, two filter'tron pickups and the heavy \"trestle\" bracing this guitar has the distinctive version of that \"Great Gretsch Sound\" familiar from Neil Young's Buffalo Springfield era and early solo recordings and Pete Townshend's work on WHO'S NEXT. A wonderful example and a really killer \"Pride of Brooklyn\" Gretsch.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 42 3\/4 in. (108.6 cm.), 15 3\/4 in. (40 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 1\/4 in. (5.7 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 1\/2 in. (622 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11\/16 in. (43 mm.). A very nice 6120, a good player with an excellent neck angle. Some minor general wear, only through the finish in a couple of small spots on the back and one thumbwear spot on the neck. Tuners restored cleany to original Waverly openback units (light compression rings on the headstock face are the only visual evidence), all else original. Frets are original and crown is taken down fairly low, but the guitar still plays very well. Includes a lovely original Atkins case. Generally Excellent Condition.","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853416059020,"sku":"4682","price":7800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_4d1ad6f9-73e9-4f53-b53f-af865585dca7.jpg?v=1774338181","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gretsch-chet-atkins-hollow-body-model-6120-arch-top-hollow-body-electric-guitar-1961-4682","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
