Condition: very good / vintage

Description: 

A vintage 1964 Gretsch 6119 Chet Atkins Tennessean in very clean, all original condition. This was originally cherry colored but the top has faded with time giving it a more walnut color, the back remains darker cherry color. This is a well preserved guitar and seems to have seen very little playing. Judging by the fading it spent most of it's time on a stand. Finish is extremely clean for a 60 year old guitar and shows only light marks, a few nicks on the headstock and edges but overall very clean. Frets show almost no wear and the fretboard is in excellent shape. All electronics and pickups are fully functioning. Apart from some cracking in the contour (see photos) and a few small others the binding remains in very good condition - no missing pieces or major cracking. Overall this is a very clean example of the classic made famous by Chet Atkins, George Harrison and many others.
