I saw this natural finished 6122-1959 at Gruhn's. It sure is a great looking guitar with all that figuring!

Unless I'm mistaken, that would be a 2006 Nashville Classic. That was the last year of the NC before Chet's family moved the "Country Gentleman" name back to Gretsch. They made a few of them that year in Gretsch orange as well as sunburst. I'm fortunate to have one of the sunburst models.

Here's how it's listed on Gruhn's web site...that's where I got my info. You're probably right about the date and model. He says it's like Chet's 1958 model, so I guess the info is really suspect.
