Dating back to a historic meeting with a Gretsch sales rep in 1955 at the Grand Ol' Opry-when Chet was first offered his own Gretsch-designed guitar-the classic 6120 Chet Atkins Hollow Body guitar helped put Chet's influential sound and style on the map. The premium 6122 Country Gentleman and affordable 6119 Tennessean models soon followed suit in 1958, furthering Chet's legacy and becoming the favored guitars of countless players.

Chet Atkins' name appeared on these instruments up until the late 1970's when Gretsch Founder Fred Gretsch passed away. Now, more than 25 years later, Chet's name returns to the guitars to which he is so indelibly linked.
