Beautiful Guitar

Unless you are a serious country or blues musician or a guitar collector this guitar is not for you. If you play country or blues tho and have a lot of money to play with this is an excellent choice. It just sounds unbelievable pure and simple. And it has very nice sustain which i have yet to find in other hollow bodies. But if you plan on adding distortion or any sort of gain really than look elsewhere cuz a 99$ johnson has as good of high gain and distortion as this guitar does. But its still the most beautiful guitar i own.

An Enduring Instrument

I bought a 6122, Chet Atkins signature Country Gentleman, brand new back in 1975. In 32 years, it has never been in the shop for anything! I recently went to a lighter weight Gretsch for my lead guitar chores as I'll be 60 next year. I've been playing lead guitar since 1969, and my old 6122 is positively the best guitar I've ever owned or played, bar none. No mystery why Chet played one for so long. If today's Country Gentleman is anywhere near as good as the old one, it's worth every bit and more, of what they want for it today......Mike Bradbury, Mountain Home, Idaho
