Chet Atkins talks about Gretsch guitars in this clip. My favorite line is delivered right at the end when he mentions some guy named Brian SELTZER. Priceless!!

Aug 21, 2008 - Seltzer..LOL...totally understandable,lol..but funny
razberyjamdeltaV Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - we know, it's the fact that he says "seLtzer" that's funny.
razberyjamdeltaV Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - apart from the fact that he says "seltzer" it's still cool to see the seasoned professional giving props to the young (well younger) blood. and of course setzer feels the same about atkins. would've been great to hear them play together : (

Aug 21, 2008 - You know raz i was just thinking that when I read your comment. How a legend like Chet would show some love to these great artists is a testament to his professionalism and not only that but you know these artist were astounded because many look up to him.

Aug 21, 2008 - if you think of how much bill monroes mandolin would be worth, its about the same way with chets guitar(at least $400,000)
kapalen Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Are you serious? Old gretsch's cost that much to start with, add an order of magnitude to that atleast.

Aug 21, 2008 - Just saw on antiques roadshow today a 59 strat w amp apraise for inexcess of 15K. George Harrison`s Penguin went for on auction for, I think 1/2 mill. The Billy Zoom tribute silver jet starts @ 10K new! I toyed with it at the shop and felt it was worth the asking price in a different economy. Not today. If I had to give that guitar a name, I would have to call it Angelina. So hot! I don`t like the 6120`s much for my use.
