The neck is very straight even with the truss rod loosened, and so lighter gauge strings are not necessarily recommended. The narrow frets are low with moderate play wear. The serial number and lack of a nameplate on the headstock dates the guitar to early 1965.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase Details: \u003c\/b\u003eOriginal hardshell case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40419633463431,"sku":"U4346474504","price":3595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/products\/gretsch-electric-guitars-hollow-body-gretsch-chet-atkins-hollowbody-orange-1965-u4346474504-30295600562311.jpg?v=1677801540","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/products\/gretsch-chet-atkins-hollowbody-orange-1965-1648690","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
