#gretsch6121

Today we have something special. Like us it was made in Brooklyn. It’s a 1956 Gretsch Chet Atkins Solidbody Model 6121 Electric Guitar! This Western Orange beauty is G branded and comes with its original white tolex hard shell case. Link in our profile. - The Model 6120 Chet Hollow Solid Body is one of the iconic American vintage guitars; this instrument is its more obscure and oft-forgotten sister, the Model 6121 Chet Atkins Solid Body. Although specifically described by Gretsch as a *solidbody* like the Duo-Jet and Jet Fire Bird this guitar is actually semi-hollow, or chambered in the modern parlance. - - - - #gretsch6121 #gretschchetatkins #gretschchetatkins6121 #vintagegretschguitar #vintagegretschguitars #dearmonddynasonic (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn44FtMOSXj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here's an example of the fun I was having on my photo shoot yesterday: 1955 #GretschRoundup. . To me this may be the ultimate #Gretsch. I think the model number 6130 (or is it 6121? A few minutes of Internet research didn't yield any results so I gave up!), but I love the G brand, western motif fret inlays leather trim, and of course that vibrant Gretsch-iest of finishes Western Orange. . . #gretschguitars #vintagegretsch #gretsch6121 #gretsch6130 #chetatkins #westernorange #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #guitarphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CUDpXoVr5q0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Throwback to 2017 and my buddy’s original 1959 #Gretsch #6121 #ChetAtkins Solid Body in what is now called Western Orange. . Before 1957 this model would have had a big “G” branded on the lower bass bout, which was kind of fun. Although I’d be happy with one of these whether it had a G or not! #tbt #gretsch6121 #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #vintageguitars #vintagegretsch #gretschguitars #tone #guitargear #guitarsdaily #guitarsofinstagram #geartalk #vintagegear #gretschguitarsofinstagram #guitarphotography (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByqQv6ABPgu/?igshid=156dioe9zwae
