Gretsch 6120

1957 Gretsch Chet Atkins Hollowbody 6120, Red

Gretsch G6120

In 1954, the Fred Gretsch Company introduced its own artist signature guitar in response to the success of Gibson’s Les Paul guitar. The virtuoso country artist Chet Atkins was chosen, and with his input the model 6120 Chet Atkins Hollowbody was born. It looks like Mark has 3 original guitars from 1957.

The guitar was used on 5:15 am, Back to Tupelo, Summer of Love, The Fizzy and the Still, Punish the Monkey, In The Sky and Hard Shoulder.

Also Mark and Richard Bennett used this guitar in All The Roadrunning and Kill To Get Crimson tours.*
