Description:
Legendary icon of George Harrison, the 1962 Country Gentleman is the epitome of Rock 'n Roll.
The G6122T-62 Vintage Edition '62 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman features the unmistakable sound and style that marked the advent of the "British Invasion." This extraordinary instrument faithfully reproduces the characteristics of the original 1962 Country Gentleman.
On a technical level, it boasts a pair of TV Jones® Classic pickups, renowned for their clarity and articulation. The controls, in classic Gretsch fashion, consist of individual Volume controls for each pickup, a Master Volume, a 3-position tone selector, and a 3-position pickup selector.
In terms of electronics, it is equipped with "Squeezebox" Paper-in-oil capacitors, capable of producing that velvety tone typical of vintage guitars.
Continuing with notable features, it has a maple neck with a "U" profile, a "Zero Fret" nut, and a 22-fret ebony fingerboard.
The body of the Country Gentleman does not have the classic "f" holes; instead, they are merely drawn, which minimizes feedback issues. The vibrato is a reliable Bigsby B6GVT, known for its tuning stability, while the bridge features a "Rocking Bar."
An instrument that embraces tradition without compromise, this is a product for true connoisseurs and enthusiasts, as well as for a fortunate few!
