The Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman has been given a much needed retirement from the road, having served honorably for over 40 years, 17 of them as a member of The Pogues. The robust young turk Gibson Chet Atkins Tennessean has taken its place and has already displayed the unfailing good humour of its predecessor. The Gretsch looks forward to twilight years where it will occasionally have its strings tickled in front of a cosy fireside, perhaps even venturing boldly into recording studios now and then, but no longer forced to suffer the harsh indignities of airport baggage handlers, freight carriers, rock n roll trucking and homeland security. It will now no longer object to being called an "antique".
