SOLD - Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean 1966 Cherry (Faded)

This all-original Tennessean has all the vibe! 

The transparent cherry finish has faded to a walnut look, but if you remove the pickguard and pickup rings you can see the original color, and it remains somewhat on the back as well.  

The plastic neck heel cap shows some of the binding "rot" that is typical of Gretsch guitars from this era, but the rest of the guitar is in great shape, with only one small area of binding on the neck having been patched (see pics).

 It's nice to see an original Tennessean that plays well, is all original and comes with that cool original case!  Grab it while it lasts!
