That's why Gretsch gave their G6120T-55GE Vintage Select 1955 Chet Atkins a pair of TV T'Armond pickups. Designed to sound just like the pickups found in '50s and '60s Gretsch guitars, these pickups give your guitar a multi-dimensional tone with plenty of articulate detail. It's the perfect sound for rock, rockabilly, blues, country, and more.Two volume controls + one tone control = exceptional sonic flexibility It's easy to stereotype the Gretsch G6120T-55GE Vintage Select 1955 Chet Atkins until you play it, and then you realize you can pull of a lot of tonal tricks with it. With a volume control for each pickup, you can create your perfect balance between warmth, bite, and brilliance when both pickups are engaged. The master tone control lets you fine-tune your sound once you've got the pickups dialed in. And thanks to the master volume control, you can take your tube amp from clean to growling without changing the balance between your pickups. Of course, you'll get sweet tone from the neck and bridge pickups individually, but there's a lot of territory to cover when you combine them.Bigsby tailpiece yields smooth vibrato action Nothing beats the character and vintage vibe that a real Bigsby-style tail piece adds to the Gretsch G6120T-55GE Vintage Select 1955 Chet Atkins.
