G6121-1955 Chet Atkins Solid Body is one of the few solid-bodied guitars within the Professional series ranks. This series is assigned the task of working with signature and tribute models Gretsch makes. Vast majority of them are hollow-bodied guitars, though a solid guitar can be found here and there. This remarkable six-string single-cut comes with a solid body made of mahogany back and plain maple top. Top is carved and bound in creme. Classic Tangerine color scheme is finished in urethane gloss and matched with gold-plated hardware. This solid-bodied axe is fit with a three-piece bridge section, including a Bigsby vibrato bar. Filtertron humbuckers are installed in the front. Set in mahogany neck is topped with a 22-fret fingerboard made of rosewood.
