00:00:12.390 00:00:12.400 you
00:00:23.570 00:00:23.580 00:00:31.170 00:00:31.180 you don't have a little fun with it not
00:00:33.520 00:00:33.530 supposed to swim oh no Joe
00:00:34.810 00:00:34.820 I like the swivel because if it just
00:00:37.810 00:00:37.820 locked into shape then you have no
00:00:39.910 00:00:39.920 options well you know the original 59
00:00:42.520 00:00:42.530 country gentleman had a non swivel arm
00:00:45.549 00:00:45.559 on it that's why Chet played it but for
00:00:47.979 00:00:47.989 the more modern player who wants to get
00:00:49.869 00:00:49.879 it out of the way right that's why we do
00:00:51.520 00:00:51.530 it this way I like that kind of
00:00:53.410 00:00:53.420 reasoning and you know what if someone's
00:00:55.540 00:00:55.550 a real Strickler figure just superglue
00:00:57.369 00:00:57.379 it and we do that's not included though
00:01:00.819 00:01:00.829 the super glue is not a good no of
00:01:02.140 00:01:02.150 course I know a little bit about what
00:01:03.520 00:01:03.530 this whole thing is what do we got here
00:01:04.780 00:01:04.790 absolutely this is again a part of our
00:01:06.789 00:01:06.799 new series of guitars we're paying
00:01:08.350 00:01:08.360 tribute to iconic models from specific
00:01:11.890 00:01:11.900 years and taking it one step further to
00:01:15.190 00:01:15.200 modernize it it's all the modernization
00:01:17.859 00:01:17.869 to the guitars all done underneath the
00:01:19.600 00:01:19.610 hood so for example in the world of Chet
00:01:22.810 00:01:22.820 Atkins the 59 country gentleman is like
00:01:25.870 00:01:25.880 the Holy Grail if you will do it in the
00:01:28.990 00:01:29.000 world of Gretsch guitars it also has the
00:01:30.850 00:01:30.860 widest neck at the nut it's an inch and
00:01:34.000 00:01:34.010 7/8 so the string spacings a little bit
00:01:36.910 00:01:36.920 wider than the other models that we
00:01:39.490 00:01:39.500 offer again that was a Chet Atkins
00:01:41.680 00:01:41.690 request and some of the other features
00:01:44.860 00:01:44.870 underneath the hood that we've
00:01:46.510 00:01:46.520 incorporated again to stabilize tuning
00:01:48.490 00:01:48.500 it's got a pin bridge we use the paper
00:01:52.420 00:01:52.430 and oil capacitors that was reminiscent
00:01:55.210 00:01:55.220 of the guitars that were made during the
00:01:57.010 00:01:57.020 Brooklyn New York era and flame maple
00:01:59.920 00:01:59.930 it's just a gorgeous guitar there's
00:02:01.600 00:02:01.610 beautiful the pickups or key
00:02:03.070 00:02:03.080 american-made TV Jones that it goes
00:02:05.020 00:02:05.030 talked about the difference between the
00:02:06.280 00:02:06.290 two of them that catches the eye right
00:02:07.960 00:02:07.970 away absolutely this is the TV Jones HT
00:02:11.080 00:02:11.090 plus and this is the power Tron and the
00:02:14.740 00:02:14.750 way that the system works on the guitar
00:02:16.869 00:02:16.879 regular 3-way selector switch master
00:02:19.750 00:02:19.760 volume this is a master volume for the
00:02:22.839 00:02:22.849 bridge pickup only and has a rotary tone
00:02:24.880 00:02:24.890 control on it so fabulous instrument of
00:02:27.850 00:02:27.860 course the Butterbean tuner buttons are
00:02:30.670 00:02:30.680 big I like that so a Grover Imperials
00:02:32.979 00:02:32.989 and it's again it's just an iconic model
00:02:37.300 00:02:37.310 that Gretch had produced in 1959 for
00:02:40.839 00:02:40.849 Chet Atkins
00:02:41.720 00:02:41.730 just check a little bit we just heard
00:02:43.729 00:02:43.739 that next ticket like opening little
00:02:59.390 00:02:59.400 position here
00:03:02.150 00:03:02.160 00:03:17.170 00:03:17.180 00:03:25.930 00:03:25.940 00:03:33.070 00:03:33.080 not sure sounds good let's go that's
00:03:35.420 00:03:35.430 rich pick up see they got we should
00:04:02.900 00:04:02.910 mention that if that bridge wasn't and
00:04:04.280 00:04:04.290 all that kind of double string bending
00:04:05.570 00:04:05.580 stuff would not have
00:04:10.140 00:04:10.150 00:04:19.759 00:04:19.769 that's juicy compressional that's ugly
00:04:22.920 00:04:22.930 00:04:29.680 00:04:29.690 say what it's a magnificent instrument
00:04:32.150 00:04:32.160 it really sounds good
00:04:33.860 00:04:33.870 you know the 59 country gentleman
00:04:35.360 00:04:35.370 wouldn't be complete without the Chet
00:04:37.220 00:04:37.230 Atkins wire arm right as part of the
00:04:39.800 00:04:39.810 look in the stylization of the
00:04:41.330 00:04:41.340 instrument it's made it so iconic
00:04:43.040 00:04:43.050 through the years it works great it
00:04:45.590 00:04:45.600 feels good and it's just so many new
