Vintage Gretsch Guitar Porn

Post by GrantB »

Here it is - my 1967 6120 Nashville. Original in every way including case - one owner. Was covered in smokers gunk and needed a good going over. Fret clean up last night (these older Gretsches sometimes left with very rough frets), polish today, set of strings, adjust the Fltertrons and all systems go. It rocks ...photos aren't so good but you the idea...my wife is amazingly understanding!

Actually there is a MEastro Phaser coming from 1972 (long way to travel!) - but I haben't heard back from the guy for a while...might be first eBay fault transaction?! Mind you, the 'mericans are a little slower with service vs and responses vs good al Kiwi TradeMe folk...in general.

Did not want to create a new Gretsch thread so this existing one will do...

Some nice ol' Gretsches on display in the village I used to live... Lots of photos in the link below to another forum

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
