00:00:03.060 [Music] 00:00:12.39000:00:12.400 you 00:00:23.57000:00:23.58000:00:31.17000:00:31.180 you don't have a little fun with it not 00:00:33.52000:00:33.530 supposed to swim oh no Joe 00:00:34.81000:00:34.820 I like the swivel because if it just 00:00:37.81000:00:37.820 locked into shape then you have no 00:00:39.91000:00:39.920 options well you know the original 59 00:00:42.52000:00:42.530 country gentleman had a non swivel arm 00:00:45.54900:00:45.559 on it that's why Chet played it but for 00:00:47.97900:00:47.989 the more modern player who wants to get 00:00:49.86900:00:49.879 it out of the way right that's why we do 00:00:51.52000:00:51.530 it this way I like that kind of 00:00:53.41000:00:53.420 reasoning and you know what if someone's 00:00:55.54000:00:55.550 a real Strickler figure just superglue 00:00:57.36900:00:57.379 it and we do that's not included though 00:01:00.81900:01:00.829 the super glue is not a good no of 00:01:02.14000:01:02.150 course I know a little bit about what 00:01:03.52000:01:03.530 this whole thing is what do we got here 00:01:04.78000:01:04.790 absolutely this is again a part of our 00:01:06.78900:01:06.799 new series of guitars we're paying 00:01:08.35000:01:08.360 tribute to iconic models from specific 00:01:11.89000:01:11.900 years and taking it one step further to 00:01:15.19000:01:15.200 modernize it it's all the modernization 00:01:17.85900:01:17.869 to the guitars all done underneath the 00:01:19.60000:01:19.610 hood so for example in the world of Chet 00:01:22.81000:01:22.820 Atkins the 59 country gentleman is like 00:01:25.87000:01:25.880 the Holy Grail if you will do it in the 00:01:28.99000:01:29.000 world of Gretsch guitars it also has the 00:01:30.85000:01:30.860 widest neck at the nut it's an inch and 00:01:34.00000:01:34.010 7/8 so the string spacings a little bit 00:01:36.91000:01:36.920 wider than the other models that we 00:01:39.49000:01:39.500 offer again that was a Chet Atkins 00:01:41.68000:01:41.690 request and some of the other features 00:01:44.86000:01:44.870 underneath the hood that we've 00:01:46.51000:01:46.520 incorporated again to stabilize tuning 00:01:48.49000:01:48.500 it's got a pin bridge we use the paper 00:01:52.42000:01:52.430 and oil capacitors that was reminiscent 00:01:55.21000:01:55.220 of the guitars that were made during the 00:01:57.01000:01:57.020 Brooklyn New York era and flame maple 00:01:59.92000:01:59.930 it's just a gorgeous guitar there's 00:02:01.60000:02:01.610 beautiful the pickups or key 00:02:03.07000:02:03.080 american-made TV Jones that it goes 00:02:05.02000:02:05.030 talked about the difference between the 00:02:06.28000:02:06.290 two of them that catches the eye right 00:02:07.96000:02:07.970 away absolutely this is the TV Jones HT 00:02:11.08000:02:11.090 plus and this is the power Tron and the 00:02:14.74000:02:14.750 way that the system works on the guitar 00:02:16.86900:02:16.879 regular 3-way selector switch master 00:02:19.75000:02:19.760 volume this is a master volume for the 00:02:22.83900:02:22.849 bridge pickup only and has a rotary tone 00:02:24.88000:02:24.890 control on it so fabulous instrument of 00:02:27.85000:02:27.860 course the Butterbean tuner buttons are 00:02:30.67000:02:30.680 big I like that so a Grover Imperials 00:02:32.97900:02:32.989 and it's again it's just an iconic model 00:02:37.30000:02:37.310 that Gretch had produced in 1959 for 00:02:40.83900:02:40.849 Chet Atkins 00:02:41.72000:02:41.730 just check a little bit we just heard 00:02:43.72900:02:43.739 that next ticket like opening little 00:02:59.39000:02:59.400 position here

00:04:02.90000:04:02.910 mention that if that bridge wasn't and 00:04:04.28000:04:04.290 all that kind of double string bending 00:04:05.57000:04:05.580 stuff would not have 00:04:10.14000:04:10.15000:04:19.75900:04:19.769 that's juicy compressional that's ugly 00:04:22.92000:04:22.93000:04:29.68000:04:29.690 say what it's a magnificent instrument 00:04:32.15000:04:32.160 it really sounds good 00:04:33.86000:04:33.870 you know the 59 country gentleman 00:04:35.36000:04:35.370 wouldn't be complete without the Chet 00:04:37.22000:04:37.230 Atkins wire arm right as part of the 00:04:39.80000:04:39.810 look in the stylization of the 00:04:41.33000:04:41.340 instrument it's made it so iconic 00:04:43.04000:04:43.050 through the years it works great it
