Aw, such a beautiful guitar and seemingly becoming more rare with the passing of time. This model is like an upscale Riveria with gold accents and really nice wood choice. Check out the back... so nice! Anywhoo this guitar features my favorite all-time pickups (Gibson mini-buckers) and offered a great alternative to the Nick Valensi Epiphone that was being offered around the same time. The video here is of this exact guitar being played. These Japanese made Epiphones were made at the same factory that produces Gretsch guitars, so the quality is real.

I really still live in the 90s price-wise, because some of the new Elitist guitars are selling for way over $3k! I remember when American Fender guitars were around $600! So it goes.

This comes with the original case and is in awesome condition. The only thing I noticed was the one knob has a cracked "skirt" on the plastic. Otherwise it will be ready to go. Regardless, any guitar I sell I always suggest a set-up to match your playing needs.
