The Gretsch G6120T-59 VS Edition '59 Chet Atkins Hollow Body with Bigsby and TV Jones pickups is a tribute to the iconic collaboration between the legendary guitarist Chet Atkins and Gretsch Guitars. Chet Atkins, a pioneering fingerstyle guitarist, played an integral role in shaping the design and features of Gretsch instruments throughout his career. The G6120T-59 model aims to capture the essence of Chet Atkins' signature sound and vintage aesthetics, featuring the 1959 trestle bracing for enhanced tonal resonance.

Body and Construction:

The G6120T-59 boasts a laminated maple body, providing a bright and focused tone with excellent sustain. This model features the distinctive G6120 body shape, which is a double-cutaway hollow body design that offers easy access to the upper frets. The guitar is finished in vintage orange stain nitrocellulose lacquer, adding a touch of classic visual appeal.

Neck and Fingerboard:

The neck of the G6120T-59 is crafted from maple, a tonewood that contributes to the guitar's bright and snappy sound. The neck profile is a vintage "V" shape, offering a comfortable and authentic playing experience reminiscent of the original 1959 model. The fingerboard is made of ebony and features a 12" radius, 22 vintage small frets, and pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays for a sleek and sophisticated appearance.

Bracing and Resonance:

Trestle bracing, as featured in the Gretsch G6120T-59 VS Edition '59 Chet Atkins Hollow Body, is a unique internal bracing system that utilizes two parallel, U-shaped spruce braces that resemble bridge trestles, hence the name. These braces extend from the neck joint down to the center of the guitar's body, terminating right below the bridge, positioned between the f-holes and underneath the pickups and bridge.

Each trestle brace has two "feet," resulting in four points of contact that are glued to the guitar's back, offering a more rigid connection than the single point of attachment found in sound-post bracing. 

The upper portions of the trestles are glued to the elongated tone bar braces that run parallel beneath the top, extending well past the bridge, and to which the pickups are mounted. This entire structure adds rigidity to the top, contributing to better control over feedback compared to a single sound post attachment.

In essence, the trestle bracing system in the Gretsch G6120T-59 Chet Atkins Hollow Body significantly enhances the guitar's structural stability and feedback resistance, while still allowing for a rich and resonant tonality that is characteristic of hollow body guitars.

Pickups and Electronics:

The G6120T-59 is equipped with TV Jones Filter'Tron Classic pickups in both the neck and bridge positions. These pickups provide a well-defined, articulate tone with a distinctive vintage character that complements the guitar's construction and aesthetics. The electronics include separate volume controls for each pickup, a master volume control, and a 3-position master tone switch that offers a range of tonal shaping options.

Hardware:

This model features Grover V98 Sta-Tite open-back tuning machines for precise tuning stability, a 1.6875" bone nut for optimal tone transfer, and a rocking bar bridge paired with a Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece, allowing for expressive pitch control and smooth vibrato effects. The guitar is strung with .011"-.049" gauge strings, providing a balanced tension and feel.

In summary, the Gretsch G6120T-59 VS Edition '59 Chet Atkins Hollow Body with Bigsby and TV Jones pickups pays homage to the legendary partnership between Chet Atkins and Gretsch Guitars. With its 1959 trestle bracing, vintage-inspired design, and high-quality components, this model offers a professional playing experience and exceptional tonal qualities for players seeking the iconic Chet Atkins sound.

10/10 Great suit , great price
Size: X-Small, Color: Red, Size: X-Small, Color: Red
Absolutely stunning for the price. Very flexible and good fit. I wish the XS was just a bit smaller but it's good. Middle of the ground with thickness it's not a cheap thing costume feel but it's not your typical heavy suit. Which I much prefer. It's lightweight but not cheap. For the price you can't ask for a better suit. I was thinking it was more of a one time use, but it's a very good long term suit. Feels very well and allows great mobility. I featherweight conceal carry and it's very easy to hide my pistol in the suit because of its flexibility. 10/10 would definitely recommend

Good Suit
Size: X-Small, Color: Black
This suit is pretty nice. The fabric isn't extremely thin and cheap-feeling, and it fits really well. The shipping was really fast too. My son is 5'9" and weighs about 150 lbs. We ordered a medium first, but it was too big, so we returned it and ordered an extra small. The extra small fits perfectly.

It's a fun/unusual color, but not "celery"
Size: Medium, Color: Celery Green, Size: Medium, Color: Celery Green
Can't comment on the fit because we didn't take it out of the bag. I gave it 4 stars because 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 of the suit looks really nice through the plackaging, but we didn't open it up and try it on because the color could not be further from what we were expecting. It's actually a really cool and unusual fun fabric, but not really describable as any shade of green which is what I was going for. It's more of a beige tweed whose tiny plaid upon careful examination even has slightly blue threads.. or is that lavender? In fairness to the manufacturer, I tried and tried to get a photo with lighting that accurately represents this fun and unusual color to no avail. For a proper review I guess I should have my son put it on and take a picture in daylight. But they do need to change the color name at least to "champagne tweed" or something. No idea whose job it was to call this color "celery". ;p

Great value for a one-time event! Perfect for graduation.
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
I bought this suit for my son's graduation, and it was exactly what we needed. Since he will probably only wear it once, I didn't want to spend a fortune at a high-end department store. For the price, the quality is surprisingly good; it looked sharp and he received a lot of compliments during the ceremony. We ordered a size Large (L) based on their sizing chart, and it was true to size and fit him perfectly. The fabric is lightweight but doesn't look cheap at all, making this a fantastic, excellent cost-benefit choice if you are looking for an option for a one-time event. Highly recommended!
