Sound Pure's Take
This one's for the players. Our luthier did great work to get this one stable and strong for another life time of playing, most notably a flawless refret to ensure the playability needed to match Mr. Atkins' own musical grace. It really is remarkable how some guitars have a sound that instantly takes you to a time and place--this couldn't be a better example of that magical potential these old instruments have. THat wide range of classic Gretsch voices, from dark and lonesome to jumpy and jangly are all here in spades.
Condition: Used, Good
This guitar has been well played and shows its vintage age, plenty of dings/scratching and the binding has begun to crack in places--our luthier has performed ample finish work to ensure this remains stable. Pictures of guitars wear and age have been included. Pickguard and possibly bridge are non-original.
