Best place to find a nice, used Gretsch G6122?
Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2019 6:31 pm
My son's 21st is coming up and he has wanted a G6122-62 for a few years now so I'm testing the feasibility of buying/importing/what-have-you one.
I can't afford to go brand new or vintage so I'm in the used guitar market minefield. I know a little bit about guitars but am reasonably dumb about the finer points of Gretschs...they were/are always so exotic and spendy to me so I never overly familiarised meself with them.
I know even less about the wide, world of the international guitar marketplace and the possibilities and dangers inherent.
I'm after advice on shops or sites to browse, issues particular to Gretschs and the G6122 to be aware of and shipping, duty and other fees to be aware of. As a starting point, I'd ultimately like to source a G6122T-62 vintage select edition (current model) with light player wear (2018/17?)/near mint, OHC and tags (if possible)...the usual dream-list stuff.
It may be that I'm dreaming with my budget and how things roll when all the extra costs are added on. I don't mind hearing that or that NZ sourced deals are the place to start. I just need to get some cards on the table to see if this is going to fly and in what direction; up, down or sideways. Any advise gratefully appreciated.
Cheers
