EX-. All stock with factory Gretsch V Bigsby (rather rare) and recent neck reset. Hump-block inlays, like George Harrison’s 6128. Original pickguard (silver like Bo Diddley’s Jet Firebird.) Original electronics with of course DeArmond DynaSonic pickups. These are high-output with great clarity. Listen to Brian Setzer’s latest record “The Devil Always Collects” and hear DynaSonics ripping through a blonde Bassman. Rock & roll! A classy-looking ‘50s vintage guitar with no binding issues and all original parts, original factory Bigsby, great sound and – this is important – a recent neck set (saves you $600.) Original frets in great shape (had long lived with flatwounds.) For a value comparison, how much do you think an American-made Gretsch would be if you asked for a Brazilian fretboard, real lacquer finish, and vintage pickups? Our guess would be $12K. Try to find another real ‘50s Jet with a factory Bigsby. Comes with a new deluxe Gretsch 5-latch case. Consigned.
