Overview

A one-of-a-kind hollowbody from the swinging '60s.

Step back in time with the Gretsch Custom Shop Country Gentleman 12-String Electric Guitar. This is a meticulous recreation of a one-of-a-kind guitar that was custom-made in 1966 for that beanie-wearing guitarist from the hit TV series about an imaginary band that soon became a real one.

The Country Gentleman 12-String was crafted to resemble New-Old-Stock, as if it sat in the back a warehouse under perfect conditions for all these years. The body and top are laminated maple in a natural/amber lacquer finish. The neck has a Fat "C" profile that's ideally suited to the 12-string format. The electronic controls are pure Gretsch and feature TV Jones Super'Tron pickups. Gold hardware includes Grover Mini tuning machines.

Comes with hardshell case.
