A one-off, one-of-a-kind, very special Gretsch guitar made for a very special person we’ve all loved since forever, John Sebastian of the great and wonderful Lovin' Spoonful and so much more. To me directly from John, a good friend since we were both kids in the 1960s. Its basics are a re-creation of one of the original Chet Atkins Country Gentleman models, the 6122-1959, itself no longer made and this particular one with highly-flamed maple top and back, something I haven't seen before and way, way cool in my book. The good people at Gretsch were thrilled to accommodate John more than ten years ago with this special version, most importantly with that repro of the classic 1950s Gretsch “G” tailpiece replacing the standard Bigsby whang bar, sure makes keeping it in tune a lot easier. It’s also got terrific TV Jones pickups made in original Gretsch styles, just can’t beat that!


Included is something else very special, a hand-written letter from John on his own personal stationery, relating how he got it from Gretsch and where he used it. It’s strung with an .013-.053 set to John's personal taste and we’ve left those strings on. John's wide, soft leather Levy strap is even still on it. But wait, there's more! All of its original Gretsch papers are here including the hand serial-numbered CoA, the Gretsch Warranty Card (still un-filled out), hand-signed Gretsch Quality Control inspection card, and more. The complete package! Oh, and its original hard case comes with it too, on which John hand-painted “George” in homage to his own Beatle hero George Harrison, noted fan of Gretsch Country Gentleman guitars. Do You Believe In Magic? Is this a Day For A Daydream? You bet it is! $3995 w/ohsc
