Man definitely has a nice hand.

Yeah, that is nice and smooth! Very jazzy!

That's an interesting cutaway on an archtop Gretsch, but then I'm probably accustomed to seeing the Chet models.

I notice his Gretsch on the Album cover is pictured with a Filtertron PU at the neck, yet in the video it appears to be a Supertron like Chet's CG. Regardless, he gets a wonderful tone reminiscent of many of Chet's '60s recordings. Here again it might be a case of much of the tone being in his hands and what smooth playing he does.

The Gretsch people put out a limited 6120 "Nashville" with a "Florentine" (sharp) cutaway pre-FMIC (the affiliation with Fender). No idea how many were made. The pickup arrangement could be easily changed via TV Jones pickups or resourceful connections with Gretsch.

I sure agree with you guys about Stan Nowlin - - that guy is the "real deal"! Wonderful hands, what a great touch,,,,he could play on a cardboard box and it would sound good. He's not huntin' for it, he knows right where it is. I also like the looks of that model Gretsch, a very pretty guitar.

Stan's a great player. He comes to our annual gospel guitar jam that we have every spring in Depew, Oklahoma. In fact he was there last month when we had it. When he comes to the spring gospel guitar jam plays a Samick solid body that he's had for years.

Hi Folks,Ijust awnt to tell you Stan tried to get on the Chetboard but I guess I was having a senior moment and told him Chets wifes name was Elona ,and now the website tells him he cant register, so if anybody knows how to get his registration cleared please do so,I think he will be a great addition.


Thank you Bob

Hi There,I just recieved Stan Nowlin's latest CD entitle Stan Nowlin plays back home hymns,the cover is much like Chets with the Church and Stan's 6120,but Ill tell you ,this is one incredable guitar CD his playing and arrangements are beautiful' you can certainly hear who his influences were,this CD has everything great fingerpickin,chickinpickin a little Duane Eddy and wonderful slow hymns every tune is so tastefully played,seems every note has a meaning,Stan is one Fine instrumentalist.
