Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins Hollowbody Orange 1958
Beautiful all-original example of a 1958 model year Gretsch 6120 from the documented 276xx production batch. This guitar features a transitional configuration appreciated by advanced Gretsch collectors, notably the absence of the horseshoe headstock inlay.
