Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean Black, 1993

Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean Black, 1993

The late, great Chet Atkins was long associated with Gretsch guitars with many classic models bearing his name. However, after Gretsch ceased production as its parent Baldwin approached bankruptcy, Gibson sought his endorsement and a number of Gibson Chet Atkins models appeared. This included the Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean, built from 1990 to 2005 in Nashville.

Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean 6119 Walnut, 1967

Currently named the ‘Tennessee Rose’, the Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean 6119 first appeared in 1958, and for 1961 gained the closed, thin ElectroTone body. Chet Atkins had been urging Gretsch to take steps to reduce feedback on their hollow body designs, especially after Gibson introduced the center-block ES335 in 1958.

Gretsch 7655 Chet Atkins Tennessean Shaded Cherry, 1974

On December 9, 2022   /    
Gretsch 7655 Chet Atkins Tennessean Shaded Cherry, 1974

This Gretsch 7655, a Chet Atkins Tennessean in a shaded cherry finish, dates to October of 1974 and appears to be in very good, clean and original condition. This guitar is from the Baldwin era and was built in Booneville, Arkansas. In 1958, Gretsch launched the original Tennessean as model 6119, placing it below their very popular 6120 Chet Atkins model. The ElectroTone (sealed) single-cutaway body was thinner, and at first it had one Filter ‘Tron in the bridge position.

Gretsch G6122TG Country Gentleman Player’s Edition Walnut, 2016

On July 20, 2022   /    
Gretsch G6122TG Country Gentleman Player's Edition Walnut, 2016

The Gretsch G6122TG Country Gentleman Player’s Edition is the latest version of this classic updated with locking tuners, pinned bridge and string-through Bigsby. But there’s more to the updates – the neck joint was re-engineered to reduce the size of the neck block and comfortably increase upper fret access.   This change alone is a huge improvement in playability, making an already great design even better!
