Arched maple body provides your tone with excellent definition
Maple has to be one of the most lively, bright, and colorful
tonewoods out there, which is exactly why Gretsch decided to make their
G6120T-55GE Vintage Select 1955 Chet Atkins almost entirely out of this
wonderful wood. At Sweetwater, we've found that this hollowbody's arched
body yields a wonderfully snappy, open tone that, when combined with
the multi-dimensional sound of its TV Jones T'Armond pickups, cuts
through a dense mix and sounds great in any situation.
Sweet vintage tone from TV Jones T'Armond pickups
When you want that classic '50s-era Gretsch tone, you need real TV
Jones single-coil pickups. That's why Gretsch gave their G6120T-55GE
Vintage Select 1955 Chet Atkins a pair of TV T'Armond pickups. Designed
to sound just like the pickups found in '50s and '60s Gretsch guitars,
these pickups give your guitar a multi-dimensional tone with plenty of
articulate detail. It's the perfect sound for rock, rockabilly, blues,
country, and more.
Two volume controls + one tone control = exceptional sonic flexibility
It's easy to stereotype the Gretsch G6120T-55GE Vintage Select 1955
Chet Atkins until you play it, and then you realize you can pull of 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. The master tone control lets you
fine-tune your sound once you've got the pickups dialed in. And thanks
to the master volume control, you can take your tube amp from clean to
growling without changing the balance between your pickups. Of course,
you'll get sweet tone from the neck and bridge pickups individually, but
there's a lot of territory to cover when you combine them.
Bigsby tailpiece yields smooth vibrato action
Nothing beats the character and vintage vibe that a real Bigsby-style
tail piece adds to the Gretsch G6120T-55GE Vintage Select 1955 Chet
Atkins. Based on the original design created by Paul A. Bigsby, this
Bigsby Licensed tailpiece requires next to no effort to use, making it
particularly easy to pull off slow, subtle, and extended bends.
