Gretsch guitars of the '50s rank as some of the most beautiful electrics ever made-and the company knew it. Where other manufacturers stressed playing features and star endorsements, the Fred Gretsch company boasted that their guitars were available in a wider range of colours than any of their competitors! Like American cars of the same era, Gretsches were colourful, sexy, and laden with gadgets, with an impracticality that is part of their charm. The Gretsch 6120, or Chet Atkins, ranks for many as the company's finest instrument, an amber and gold dream of a guitar that became an icon in the hands of Eddie Cochran or Duane Eddy. Fans of the instrument often comment that no two Gretsches ever sound alike, all the same, Gretsch guitars have a distinct warm but twangy sound, radically different from Gibsons or Fenders of the same era. At a time when modern guitar design appears more and more homogenized, these guitars are an ideal antidote.
