Gretsch G5031FT Rancher Fideli-Tron Acoustic Electric - Sunburst

About this guitar:
Weight: 6.2 pounds

This guitar came directly from Gretsch to my supplier, it has never been sold retail.  The protective covers are still on the pick guard, the truss rod cover and backs of the tuners.  The guitar was inspected and tested by a factory authorized technician.  All electronics are working as designed, the neck is straight and the set up is to factory specs.  When we polished the guitar we did not find any finish blemishes, it is in new condition..
Per agreement with Gretsch, since this guitar was not distributed through their dealer network there is a tiny used stamp on the back of the headstock and the last two digits of the stamped serial number have been removed and a sticker with the serial number has been placed over the stamped number.

Here is what Gretsch says about the G5031 FT:

Gretsch Rancher acoustics are back and better than ever. The G5031FT Rancher dreadnought is a distinctive Rancher model, with a sweet iso-chamber mounted Fideli'Tron pickup for great amplified tone and performance. Other premium features include a bound solid spruce top with scalloped "X"-bracing and the classic Rancher bound triangular sound hole, flame maple sides and bound arched back, mahogany neck, 16-fret rosewood fingerboard with Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays, volume control, compensated bridge saddle with rosewood base, deluxe tuners, and gold-plated hardware.

FAQ, frequently asked questions

Why are instruments sent to a refurbisher?  The instrument could be a discontinued model, have a finish imperfection, or need a minor repair.

Who refurbishes your instruments?  All of my instruments come from the largest and best refurbisher in the country, where any issue found is corrected by a factory trained and authorized luthier.

Does a refurbished instrument have the manufacturer warranty?  No, any instrument sent to a refurbisher, regardless of the reason it was sent there, no longer carries the manufacturer warranty. 

Will I need to set up my instrument when I receive it?  All of my instruments have been set-up before shipping, so most are ready to play out of the box.  However some instruments may need a minor adjustment after shipping due to changes in temperature, humidity, and  getting bumped around during shipping.  Also some players like to set up a new bass to their own personal preferences.
