Details
The 6119 features a dark mahogany finish, a layered maple body, maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. The fully hollow, but enclosed "Electrotone" body is one of Gretsch’s most popular designs. The top is single bound, while the back remains unbound. This particular finish was favored by Chet Atkins, who preferred it to the “gaudy” orange of his original signature model, the 6120.
The maple neck is fitted with a bound rosewood fingerboard, complete with a zero fret (another Chet requirement) and the half-moon "Neo-Classic" inlay pattern that Gretsch used almost exclusively at that time. - Reviews
