How beautiful, what style, with this inimitable patina and such a distinctive design! Gretsch has produced many historic models that became true classics and have been seen on stages all over the world for decades… And the name Country Gentleman has had many variations. These instruments from the mid to late 1960s are considered the last truly great Gretsch guitars before the brand faced the difficulties and production issues of the 1970s.
Here is a stunning Gretsch Country Gentleman from 1966, a guitar with an incredible presence that, thankfully, is not just beautiful to look at but also a fantastic instrument. It offers remarkable playing comfort, particularly thanks to the original low frets. It comes with its original case and documents, making it already a rare and desirable piece. The neck pickup and its frame come from another Country Gentleman of the same year, 1966, perfectly coherent and true to the spirit of the time, while the original Super Tron in the bridge, also from 1966, remains untouched and delivers all the richness and precision that made this model famous. The solder joints on the pickup connections were worked on when the neck pickup was fitted. Apart from that, everything is original: frets, hardware, parts – and of course the case and papers.
The result is a Country Gentleman with irresistible charm – noble, elegant, and with that warm, spacious, refined tone that has carried through the decades. A true Gretsch collector’s guitar, certainly, but above all a guitar that is meant to be played.
