The CHET ATKINS signature Tennessee Rose is in stock today at North Coast Music!
The G6119-62HT Gretsch Tennessee Rose is an extremely close replica of the Gretsch Tennessean played by George Harrison of the Beatles.
The 1962 Tennessee Rose reissue has a distinctive dark cherry red, hand-polished finish. The guitar's maple laminate body is 16" wide and 2" deep with simulated f-hole top. Gretsch has also brought back the original sixties vintage HiLo'Tron pickups. The HiLo'Trons are single coiled pickups that bring "Brilliant highs" and "Mellow lows" giving an extra lively response to this wonderful Tennessean sound.
Other hardware includes chrome-plated, solid brass control knobs, Gretsch Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, pickup selector and tone variance switches, master volume and two individual pickup volume controls.
The 24.6" scale neck, with black pearl inlaid headstock, is laminated rock maple with ebony-stained rosewood fingerboard, and Neoclassic inlays.
North Coast Music performs a complete set up and through inspection of each Gretsch Tennessee Rose guitar prior to shipment. I check and adjust the guitar for correct intonation, proper truss rod adjustment for correct neck relief, low action, and proper operation of all mechanical and electrical functions. I will not just ship you an uninspected sealed factory box, as other online retailers do. Your guitar will arrive ready to play.
After the shipment has been completed, I will actually email several pictures of your new guitar to you to so you can see your actual guitar while in transit to you.
