The G6119T-62 follows the Tennessean as Gretsch built it in 1962: a laminated maple hollow body with parallel tone bars, a pair of TV Jones TV-HT pickups, a pinned rocking bar bridge and a Bigsby vibrato. The silver plexi pickguard carries the Gretsch logo and "Chet Atkins Tennessean".
The controls are the old Gretsch layout. Each pickup has its own volume, there is a master volume, and a three-position master tone switch sits in place of a tone knob, so you set the balance between pickups with the volumes and pick a voicing with the switch. The maple neck is a standard "U" with a 12" radius rosewood board, vintage small frets, pearloid thumbnail inlays and a bone nut. The 24.6" scale is on the short side, which keeps bends and wide stretches easy.
It comes in Dark Cherry Stain. For a Tennessean outside the Vintage Select line, look at the Gretsch Tennessean Hollow Body with String-Thru Bigsby and Nickel Hardware.
