Gretsch Chet Atkins Nashville Western G6120DSWR Relic From Gretsch Guitars arrives the most incredibly custom series yet! Graphic designer Jimmy C of southern California and Gretsch Custom Shop luthier Stephen Stern have united to create the G6120DSWR line of guitars, each one featuring 100% unique pinstriping on an aged relic-style body. Each and every guitar is different! That means a line of pure one-off, one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-seen-again, Gretsch guitars! It just so happens that ours is the most unique of them all, and is the only guitar in the line that does not showcase traditional pinstriping. This breathtaking instrument is quite possibly the most show-stopping instrument ever to be made! You simply must see for yourself! Click here: Gretsch Chet Atkins Nashville Western G6120DSWR Relic

Unbelievable hand carvings from a 400 year old craft. No two guitars are exactly the same. Tale telling carving and amazing three dimensional reliefs hand carved onto headstocks, bridges and rosettes as well as intricately carved backs and sides and astonishingly, even the tops of some models. Beautiful story telling inlays in the fingerboards. Unbelievably, they also possess an incredibly amazing sound quality. You have got to see and hear these - but you still won't believe your eyes or your ears. All models include a hard case, a lifetime warranty and for a limited time, some cool Blueberry bling.
