I still have my Tenny that I got new in 1967! I love that guitar!

[@blazeplaysgames82]

I’ve never seen I Feel Fine played like that That’s what make me happy is seeing put their own interpretation on Beatles hits. And not to mention the monkees! Man. I’m only 18 but I live in a 60’s world and you brought me back to the reason why I live like that. Thank you and have an awesome day

happy birthday nick and many more 👍✌😎

[@RRW276]

I don't comment much, but just wanted to say that I enjoy these vids and look forward to them everyday. I will soon be on the market for a 90's or early 00's Dove ad will use NRG. Best rep in the business.

I hope to god this series never stops

[@shawncallahan5685]

I look forward to each and every new "episode" when I get home from work. Learned so much from Mark. Someday I would like to cross the country and stop in. That lefty gold top LP is calling to me in the background.

This made my day, i watched this on my birthday and had no idea someone with the same name would be congratulated :)

Love is out to get me…..Ok Man you really got me back. I have one of these that I got for my dad. He bought it around 62 in Montreal Canada and used it for around 25 years and then switch to a telecaster.

I have the same guitar, only a '63! Love it and your demo.

Happy birthday Nick. You rock

[@vmat1000]

From a few years ago but still a treat. Hope this Beauty found a good home. Reminds me of the guitar Ronnie Montrose said he restored from SIR, SF. It needed work but not only was this axe in the 'corner' shot of the Guitar Player mag that had this story in '84, i (we) saw him with it. Keystone PA. Only pro i ever 'met'. RIP, Ronnie.

[@garyecklund6908]

If I remember right, the "on-off-on" switch had two on positions because the two positions switched polarity. If you got a hum in one position you could switch to the other.

[@harveyjohnny1967]

Beautiful. I have a 1964 which I have just spent a lot of dough refurbishing after years of abuse. Can't wait for it to be shipped back to me.

Hey, Mark - Another great demo. I always enjoy the brief descriptions of the technical and historic highlights. My query for you is ... How much time do you spend with each guitar before filming with Jen? And please tell me those always-spot-on song choices aren't just off the top of your head! Your vids are the best. I'm addicted.

Man, good ol' times

[@philovance1940]

I had a ‘67 Tennessean. It looked just like that one. Except it had little brass plate on the headstock that said Chet Akins. It wouldn’t stay in tune and the pickup output was low. I traded it for a Les Paul. I wish I would’ve kept it.

So let's and the world of media not kid itself on ...it still goes on today with these talent factor shows and in the American country scene and certain 🇬🇧 radio stations lol 😂🙌🤔💰💰💰💰🤝. 👎

[@andrewpappas9311]

Tony Totten Um, okay? Not sure what the point of your comment is to be totally honest

[@noi5emaker]

Gorgeous guitar and killer tones. Is there nothing a 6119 can't do? Nothing not to love, soundwise, but a bit odd that you have three knobs and not one of them is a tone control! REQUEST: More hollowbodies please. Oh, and more Rickenbackers! Thanks Mr A!

[@WJHandyDad]

you are amazing on the guitar... how long have you been playing

[@guitarjunkienc4875]

I have a all original Tennessean and I’m confused about the year model, the serial numbers say it’s a 1960 but it has the metal plate on the headstock, any help? And the serial numbers 37***

[@bhpoal]

Does anyone know the background story on why the Tennesean isn't a hollow body guitar?

[@ericbillingsley9303]

It is a hollowbody guitar.Closed f holes to lessen feedback at high volume.

[@xefalconmods7764]

This guitar sounds like rock n' roll through an ac30 top boost

[@xefalconmods7764]

cranked up too

[@jimmyholmes4494]

The sound from this guitar fully embodies and epitomizes the former Gretsch tag line "That great Gretsch sound!". But it's too bad it no longer has that great Gretsch look, considering the poor quality refinish job. Whoever did this one even forgot, or otherwise neglected, to install the metal "The Chet Atkins Tennessean Model" nameplate back onto the headstock. I learned a very valuable lesson maybe 35 years ago. I owned a 1968 Gretsch Streamliner whose original turquoise paint had seen better days, so I had it redone with a very high quality job, so as to rival the factory's original work. This was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. It cut the value of the guitar by 30 percent or more. The 70-year-old Gretsch aficionado from whom I had bought it informed me that as it had been, it still retained about 80 to 85 percent of its current maximum market value, and that a collectible guitar should never be refinished unless the condition of the original finish is so bad that it makes the guitar worth less than if it were refinished. This is because altering any original aspect of the instrument removes a part of history which can NEVER be recovered. This part of history is then, and forever, lost to the ages. And after all, isn't history the reason why we love and buy any historically significant artifacts (besides that great Gretsch sound, LoL!!!)?

[@kamenii]

Not all Tennesseans have the nameplate. George Harrison's sure didn't. Not sure if George took it off, or some just don't come with it.

[@mattwilliam4803]

[@richardhendel8132]

[@Diegolopezlira]

Great playing and great selection of songs as usual Mark, on the other hand, why on earth would someone paint f-holes on a solid guitar? it doesn't make any sense. What a stupid thing to do.

[@jizznwank4506]

Diego Lòpez Lira Beatles fans probably and I am an animals fan myself and I like the painted f holes just because Hilton valentine of the animals owned a gretsch tennesean but I know what you mean it's pretty dumb

[@abbydees8612]

The f holes were painted to reduce feedback. I believe that a solid center block accomplishes the same thing, pretty much, which is why the recent Gretsches are mostly open F holes.

[@vmat1000]

I used to blast my Harmony Rocket II thru a LPB1 and a Magnatone 1-12 combo gererating feed back like the guitar was breathing, so much air rushed thru the F holes. Mark Farner used masking tape on his Messenger in the early GFR days. btw, Paul Gilbert liked F holes.

[@charlesherrick3798]

George Harrison played a 6122. Note the different knobs (more on the 6122)

[@charlesherrick3798]

6119 is missing the plate on the face of the headstock. Harrison's 6122 had Filtertrons. Look: tilonlysilenceremains.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/gentleman1_1.jpg?w=500&h=610

[@nicholasbloomer7778]

Harrison owned a 6122 Country Gentleman (he had two actually) and he also had a 6119 Tennessee in Burgundy stain, not walnut.

[@mohamedtlass3842]

He played this also

[@jbrianhorton]

Am I the only one who thinks the painted F holes are stupid looking? Neat guitar

[@Primitiveimage]

they piss me off lol

[@Diegolopezlira]

I totally agree with you, I just made a comment about that. It is stupid.

no real f holes cuts way down on feedback .. really important when playing loud.
