Our 1962 Gretsch 6119 Chet Atkins Tennessean in Walnut has had a master tone pot added and a new knob fitted. The bridge pickup ring has been replaced, as well as the Bigsby spring. The guitar has had a neck reset and some repair work and touching up done around the pickups. The pots cannot be accessed to verify their age, but they appear original. Please note that we believe the pickups to be the original single coil Hi-lo'Trons, however this cannot be verified.
