Description

What makes this guitar special:  100% original & just recently acquired from the original owner who purchased the guitar brand new in '65.  The guitar was kept in immaculate condition & comes with its original Certificate of Authenticity, OK Card & Gretsch care booklet.  Even the original polish cloth is included!  The walnut stain finish is still quite rich, with no fading & everything is in perfect working condition.

Cosmetic Condition:  Superb condition for its age - very well cared for & exceptionally clean with no "binding rot."  There is some checking in the headstock overlay, along with various surface scratches and minor nicks & dings throughout the guitar.  The gold hardware has tarnished somewhat, but overall it's in great shape with a gorgeous look & a beautiful patina.

Neck:  Maple neck with nicely aged cream binding & red side dots.  Ebony fingerboard with pearloid "thumbnail" inlays.  Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Grover tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" nut width with zero fret; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.

Body:  Double-cutaway, maple body with simulated F-holes and multi-bound top & back.  Bigsby tremolo tailpiece with Rocking Bar bridge & double mute pads.  Gold plexi pickguard with Gretsch logo.  Back pad is in great shape with all its snaps.  Guitar weighs 8 lbs 6.8 oz.

Pickups:  Original Gretsch humbuckers - SuperTron neck & FilterTron bridge humbuckers.  Master volume & individual pickup volume controls with "G" Arrow knobs.  3-way pickup & tone selector switches; 3-way standby switch.  All electronics are in good working condition.

Case:  Original hardshell case included.  Also included with the guitar is its original polish cloth, COA, OK Card & Gretsch care booklet!
