A belated New Gretsch Day
PROHIBITED POST FOR CONWAY
Having said two guitars ago I would not buy anymore, here is now my very last ever purchase.
After having 'gassed' for one for a long time, stoked by Strummer's and Bender's acquisitions, I got my hands on one a couple of months ago. Bought from the first owner and in really good nick. Changed it back to the original bridge and you know about the nut work.
Strung with 12-56 and I can still bend them.
Usual overdose of photos.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Sorry. I won't comment on your pile of firewood. Other than to say the metal parts might not go very well in the fire.jvpp wrote:PROHIBITED POST FOR CONWAY

I don't love them, but then I tend to prefer either dots or no inlays.
