Chet Atkins is back at Gretsch
From the Gretsch website:
Now, in 2007, a new chapter opens in the history—the legacy—of one of the guitar world’s most celebrated, most revered partnerships: Gretsch and the Chet Atkins Trust are very proud indeed to announce the return of Chet Atkins’ name to Gretsch guitars.
Chet’s signature will once again grace the pickguards of the legendary Gretsch models with which he was originally so indelibly connected. When the clock rings in 2007, Gretsch’s famous 6120 Nashville® guitars will once again become known as what they truly are—Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins Hollow Body guitars*, Gretsch 6122 Country Classic™ guitars will once again be known by the name that made them famous in the beginning—Country Gentleman®, and the elegant 6119 Tennessee Rose™ guitars will become the Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessee Rose guitars.
Join us as we say “welcome home” to the historic musical legacy of Chet Atkins. We couldn’t be more proud and excited, and you will be too when you play one of these fantastic Gretsch guitars that bears the name of the only man in history who can rightfully and affectionately be known by the entire world as exactly what he is: Mr. Guitar.
