Wow, almost 11 years ago I got that Gretsch. Still plays great...wish I had more stuff to use it for.

Yeah, one of those things where timing has never been right to sell. In the end I gave up. I have a feeling it will still go to someone else at some stage, someone who will use it more. It is a crazy good player, which is not always the case with old Gretsch. In no rush for it to go just yet.

Yeah, I miss mine. I've been through a dbl cut Jet, a single cut 6120 and a Country Gent since but they've all had a slightly flat profile neck which ultimately missed the mark for me. I wish gretsch would make some other fatter profiles. The old dbl cut 6120's are probably the biggest roundest ones I've come across and they are far from substantial.

This one is definitely a larger C. Not massive, but very comfy.

Looks like i resurrected this thread with no interest in the post that brought it back to life. You know there are many more vintage gretsches out there than just gb's...

That yous guys can just skip over the fact that i onced lived in the centre of a guitar universe is just utterly heart breaking.

Yes, updated photos of your glorious gat please Grant. Pronto please.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

i guess seeing one that belongs to 'one of our own' brings it much closer to home, and the potential of owning it is slightly higher too :mrgreen:
