These early Japanese Gretsch guitars are KILLER! and this one is no exception. It plays and sounds great and has a very very vintage and authentic Gretsch feel, that in my opinion has not been able to be replicated in more recent instruments. It is in good shape overal with sonme nicks and dings here and there but it is overall quite clean and ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. The fretboard was just oiled as part of the setup so the moisture you see is some fretboard oil! Ships promptly, pro packed and fully insured. Comes with original hard case!
