                               Gretsch DIDNT LABEL these (just pencil markings) inside if you are lucky enough to find one,

                               A few signs of 60-70 YEARS of age is

                               1.  finish has dulled and show age with small tiny scuffs, and the occasional small dent or scratch.

                               2. Binding has aged, BUT still holding tigHt, here and there you see a tiny split or a crack/chip  BUT OVERALL VERY GOOD FOR AGE

                               3.  Its hard to see but 2 small holes are in back of headstock to "HANG" guitar from wall,

                               - back in the 40s a company made  Guitar HOOK to hang a guitar from a wall- this shows those 2 holes - DOES NOT effect anything

                                 but if you wan a perfect guitar that has never been played skip this one,  it has been around for decades decades decades and ..well you get he picture.

                                  YOU RARELY FIND THESE IN BLOND, ALL BOUND IT TORTOISE  WITH THE RARE SEE THRU TRANSLUCENT BOUND GUARD...AND THE HAND CARDED BRIDGE AND THE HAND ENGRAVED TAIL-  MAKE ME AN OFFER FOLKS,  JUST light use and is VERY RARE!!  I guess you'd buy a new reissue gretsch if you want one perfect and shiny from japan. - THIS IN AN INVESTMENT!!   holding value well!   .  sold as is but I do tell yo all the facts.  see my feedback for 15 years,

                                 I don't monkey around. THIS WOULD BE 5K more in a shop,  I WILL CALL YOU, EMAIL YOU OR SEND VIDEOS.  JUST EMAIL ME YOUR TEL #
