The 1958 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman in Walnut is a legendary hollow body electric guitar that embodies the classic sound and elegance of the golden era of Gretsch instruments. Introduced in 1958, this model was designed in collaboration with country guitar virtuoso Chet Atkins, combining his desire for a refined, versatile guitar with Gretsch’s distinctive craftsmanship.
The body features an arched top with laminated maple construction, finished in a deep, rich Walnut stain that highlights the wood’s natural grain. The Country Gentleman delivers a robust tone with excellent sustain, reducing feedback while retaining the warm, resonant qualities of a classic hollow body.
The tuners have been replaced, and the biding has been stabilized. Apart from the tuners, this gentleman boasts all original parts and electronics. The guitar is equipped with dual Filter’Tron humbucking pickups, providing a balanced tonal palette with a smooth low-end, sparkling highs, and a midrange clarity perfect for both clean and overdriven settings. This 1958 Country Gentleman is an iconic instrument that has shaped the sound of country, rockabilly, and early rock and roll for decades.
Included a hardshell case and a professional set up by our in-house luthiers.
