Description: Up for sale, a 2005 Gretsch G6119-1962FT Tennessee Rose in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. A model produced prior to Atkins’ renewal of his Gretsch endorsement in 2007, the Tennessee Rose replicates the specifications of a circa 1962 Tennessean, yet with Filter'Tron humbuckers (FT in the model designation). Modern considerations include a Tune-o-Matic bridge and Grover Rotomatic tuners, increasing tuning stability and fine-tuning intonation. A relative rarity, as most Gretsfch production in Japan has historically occurred at the Terada factory, this Gretsch was made at Fujigen, vaunted for its high quality fit and finish work. Tonewoods include a fully hollow maple body with sound post bracing, a two-piece maple neck, and a bound ebony fingerboard. As Gretsch's most enduringly popular pickup, these Filter'Trons deliver plenty of bounce and chewy cut on the wound strings, with a complex, textured sparkle in the treble register, and a bit of midrange push and bark. This Tennessee Rose weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
