I believe the modern Gretsch is called the 'country classic' as they
no longer have rights to use the name country gentleman, which belongs
to Chet Atkins.
I don't know a lot about the Gibson model, but the pictures I've seen
don't look the same as the 60's vintage Gretsch models I remeber playing
from my high school daze.

| The Gibson Chet is an entirely different guitar from any of the Gretsch
variations. It has standard Gibson humbuckers and a rather unique neck
inlay that's a nod to the Gretsch thumbrint inlays.
I've played a couple and they have been fine guitars. My feeling is
that they're a much higher quality level than anything Gretsch ever
built, but if you want "that Gretsch sound", you'll need to buy a
Gretsch.
