Cinnamon Girl 1962 Gretsch Chet Atkins Model 6160 Amp & Gibson R9 Les Paul Throbak SLE-101 Plus LTD

It's been a long time since I posted videos on YouTube, and I'm glad to be back.

The amp in this video is for sale on The Gear Page, and is soon going on eBay. This 1962 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman Amp is quite rare, and is one of the fattest sounding Valco amps I've ever owned. It has 2 original Jensen P12P blue bell speakers that are a wonderful complement. I'm using my 2003 R9 Les Paul fitted with Throback SLE-101 Plus LTD pickups.

No effects are used - just plugged straight in to the amp.

in fact i don't care much of rare tube amps or pickups for les paul. i don't like 'cinnamon girl' either, both in original version or covers, but i'm surprised by this stand alone guitar part. it sounds really serious and awesome. thanks.

Great cover and KILLER sounding amp. Mind if I ask how much you got for it?

[guitarcynic]

@danakerman Sorry for the very, very late reply. I sold the amp in the spring for $650. These Valco made Country Gents. are pretty rare, but they don't bring the money of a Supro branded model with similar features.

Great amp! Cool playing!

@thechimneywright - definitely something wrong with yours. I have a similarly appointed 6162 which is dead quiet.

@guitarcynic No worries. Thanks for the info!! I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for one of these babies, because that sound is fantastic and the price is pretty good!
