  • Description: Very clean 1965 Tansitional Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentlemen. This Guitar is a bit of a rariety, The Pickgaurd says Country Gentlemen on it rather than Country Gentleman, This Guitar was made during the negociation period of Baldwin purchasing Gretsch, This information is Documented in the Gretsch Book written by Jay Scott. There are around 50 known to exist. The reason for the change in name was the fact that Chet Atkins owned the rights to the term Country Gentleman. 100% original and has no cracks other than some binding checking as all Gretsch's from the 60's this one has binding checking but nothing severe like I've seen elsewhere. There is a of replaced piece binding on the edge of the body. The action is right where it should be and plays great with low action. There is little to no fretwear and the neck is perfect, Greatest neck ever, Comes with the originalNew York / Chicago blue diamond case. Very Sweet guitar and a very sweet deal..
