1961 Gretsch Tennessean 6119 Chet Atkins 00603

[@gretscher]

You are right, they are not humbuckers but single coils. Great sounding pickups too.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

George switched to this guitar from the Country Gentlemen in 1965. It can be seen in tne movie Help! A sweet sound! Ticket to Ride comes to mind.

[@TheGuitarTheory]

thank you for sharing that quote...it was beyond beautiful

[@philx1111]

"chet atkins is rolling in his grave.." yeah... ROCK n rolling. woooooooooo

[@Guitarplayer219]

Hey that tone is amazing! I love watching your videos, then look at other pages and have your videos playing in the background! Thanks for being awesome!

[@the_largest]

I LOVE THIS GUITAR!!!!

[@willturnbull91]

that was my thought, those pups are single coils, you can get similar pickups from TV Jones

[@636117]

these are single coils, not "humbuckers"

[@kmcgimsey]

i have the earlier model with the open f holes with all origional hardware except the tuners, any idea with its worth?

[@steve7onfire]

@DangerousBastard YES!!!!!!!! They ARE single coils!!!! I can't believe people don't know that.

[@bigredchevytruck]

Years from now, after I'm gone, someone will listen to what I've done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they'll hear my guitars speaking for me. - Chet Atkins

[@Zas379]

Are those sound holes painted on? Because they sure look like it?

[@LedZeplican]

Can you guys do a Gretsch 6125? I have the 1959 anniversary model and knead wondering what Phil could say about it

[@jimmypinch]

Hi-Lo trons are single coils that look like humbuckers.

[@sa55i]

Yep, skip to 4:50 and he explains them.

[@Swordmasteryful]

Why in these days does people have there guitars almost all the way down to there knees? Whats the point?

[@TheMedievalwarrior]

@Gregorio17 yes it does help preventing feedback

[@zxkevkop]

EPIC RESPONSE LOL Phil, i love you. No homo.

[@viceisthename]

do you need glasses (?), cause sometimes it looks like you can't see anything..

[@philx1111]

nope. 335 with a factory bigsby

[@sa55i]

The cherry red one? It's a Bigsby I would have thought. I doubt an FR has ever seen the light of day in FA.

[@ledzeppelin174]

Nope, its a maestro tailpiece. Sweet!

[@SeamusMcMichael]

George used this guitar?

[@Swordmasteryful]

Why is it that everybody in these days have their guitars all the way down to their knees?? Whats the point of that?

[@TheSecondNature]

ok this guitar is great and im a huge fan of the phil, but the fake holes are just horrible lol

[@kingofsmash19]

yeah

[@DanielMaytz]

this guy kind of reminds me to Jack White :P yeah!

[@Driftwoodaudiocornwall]

@Swordmasteryful I play low as it's more comfortable for my arm to be straight and me to just use my wrist =]

[@LPRory]

Baricuda!

[@thecapitolwasteland]

@Swordmasteryful Often its comfort (personally for me) Some people do it for looks, even though it does look retarded.

[@mistersnaredrum]

waitwaitwait... you play a tennessean through a vox ac30 and manage to not play ANY beatles? steady on, phil... :o)

[@johndelays]
