Description
The G6122-1962 Country Gentleman Classic captures the elegance and versatility that made this model a favorite among players chasing everything from clean, chiming rhythm work to biting, articulate leads. Part of Gretsch’s Professional Collection, this walnut stain example pairs an arched laminated maple body with dual High Sensitive Filter’Tron pickups for that unmistakable Gretsch bark, balanced with clarity and warmth.
The three-piece maple neck carries a bound ebony fingerboard dressed with Neo Classic thumbnail inlays and a 12″ radius that makes fast runs and chord work feel natural. A zero fret and 22 frets across a 24.6″ scale keep intonation tight while preserving open-string resonance. Multiple body bindings, a bound headstock, and simulated F-holes give the guitar a refined, old-world look, while the gold plexi pickguard and gold-plated hardware add a touch of vintage glamour.
Playability and control run deep here: a 3-position pickup toggle, independent volume controls for each pickup plus a master volume, and a 3-position master tone switch offer real tonal shaping rather than just on/off simplicity. The Bigsby B6G vibrato tailpiece with a flat handle lets you add pitch-bending flair, while the double “Muffler” muting system offers a palm-muted, percussive alternative tone at the flip of a switch.
- Gold-plated Grover Imperial die-cast tuners for rock-solid tuning stability
- Ebony-based “rocking” bar bridge for improved sustain and intonation
- Knurled strap retainer knobs and adjustable truss rod
- Includes G6242L Deluxe Hardshell Case
Whether you’re chasing rockabilly snap, jazzy warmth, or something in between, this Country Gentleman delivers the tone and craftsmanship that built Gretsch’s reputation.
