1957 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins Hollow Body - Orange
Western Orange, hump block inlays, DynaSonic pickups, Melita "Syncro-Sonic" bridge. What's not to love about this stunning 1957 6120?
This example has survived relatively unscathed over the years with minimal modifications or issues. There is a chipped inlay and the others have lifted slightly but appear to be stable under normal use. The bass side of the neck binding appears to have been reglued. The finish is also worn off of a section of the back of the neck.
Outside of that, theres just some light finish scratches throughout, a few shallow dents and dings, some light corrosion on the cover and screws of the bridge pickup, and a slight but stable gap at the heel. Despite the gap, the action remains super low and playable with plenty of height adjustment left on the Melita bridge.
The pickups, harness, Bigsby, tuners and knobs all appear to be original. The original tooled white leather case has seen better days, but is still structurally sound.
