Gretsch 6122-59 Guitar Review

This review was submitted by Guitar Jar contributor: Jim Hopkins

I’ve been a big Chet Atkins fan for most of my life and I’ve been playing Gretsch guitars sense 1968.

…this model is the ultimate “Chet” guitar…

Features:

V-cut Bigsby with a fixed Chet handle, TV Jones pickups. 25.5″ scale neck, 1 ¾” wide at the nut for finger style playing.

For more information about the Gretsch 6122-59, please visit the Gretsch website.

Ease of use:

This is one of the best playing guitars I have ever had, and I’ve had many.

Sound Quality:

A great range of sounds from Jazz to rock. I play classic country and love the sound I get from this guitar. Nothing sounds like a Gretsch.

Reliability:

I have been using this guitar for 7 years now and don’t carry a backup. I’ve never had a problem with it.

Overall Rating:

One of the best sounding and playing guitars I’ve ever had. It will be with me as long as I live.
