Gretsch G6122-1962 Country Classic II (pre-Fender)

On Hold

The Country Classic II has been mainly related to George Harrison, but it actually admits a big variety of styles from jazz to blues or rockabilly, both for rythms & lead. They’re actually reissued as 6122-1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman, but this is a pre-Fender, different story. It is in absolutely pristine condition (we often wonder how that’s possible... Don’t people play these?! Gee..). The pre-Fender models have a replaceable backpad. The the original is included, but it does show some wear. We include a replacement in case you want to save it (though it’s a modern one and doesn’t fit as smooth as the original). The back cover still has the factory protective plastic on! OHSC included.
