Gretsch 6120 Nashville
 The Gretsch 6120 Nashville started out as the Chet Atkins model when first introduced in 1955. The 6120 carried the Chet Atkins signature and name up until the endorsement was dropped in the mid-1960s, when it was then renamed the Nashville. This guitar cost $385 in its first run and featured plenty of Western flair. From the cow heads and cactus etchings to the over-sized "G" that looked like a cattle brand, the 6120 was all Chet.
The first models were fitted with DeArmond pickups, which Mr. Atkins absolutely despised. He claimed they sucked the life out of the guitar for everyone except Duane Eddy. They were replaced with Gretsch's FilterTron humbuckers in 1958. Further changes in the early sixties brought a narrowing of the body by one inch, a double cutaway, and a padded back. By 1962 the 6120 was nothing like the original that won so many fans. Baldwin bought the Gretsch company in 1967 and brought more significant changes to the 6120. In fact, by 1972 it was re-designated as the 7660 - probably a good move since it was an entirely different instrument. The 6120 Nashville was revived in the 90s, getting a big boost from Brian Setzer and a new line bearing his name. Gretsch also regained use of the Chet Atkins name in 2008, thus putting the Nashville name back on the shelf. Regardless of whether a 6120 bears the Nashville or Atkins name, if it bears one of them it is one of Gretsch's finest instruments. Many consider the earlier 6120s the best thing that ever came from the company, yet just as many fans of the modern version consider them just as good. At the end of the day it, it would seem that if you have a 6120, you have a great piece of work. |
