1961 Gretsch 6119 Chet Atkins Tennessean

This is a very clean example from the last year before the painted f-holes, and thin-bodies of the Electrotone years. When I acquired this guitar it had a replacement bridge and tuners. However, I had already bought the originals from the previous owner a year or two before and now they are back, so apart from a professional re-fret this guitar is COMPLETELY ORIGINAL.
Binding is in great condition with only a minor piece of funkiness around the heel (shown) and a slight separation in the cutaway (also shown). Finish shows light wear and a little buckle rash, but nothing serious. Electrics are fully functional with no issues.
