About this listing

Today, for your consideration - a Gretsch Beast! This is a very interesting guitar. This model only lasted with Gretsch from 1979 to 1981. Some came factory with DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups, such as this one. Overall, the guitar is in great shape for its age with light wear to the dark mahogany. It is very light weight at just 7 pounds 2 ounces and plays beautifully across the board. It does appear that the knobs are replaced. Will ship in a non original but pro grade gig bag.We always ship with tracking and insurance provided. All items are professionally packed to the highest standard possible.If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you for looking and have a great day!

Overview

Gretsch's short-lived Beast series debuted in the late '70s, and was discontinued just a few years later. The BST-1500 came stock with a black pickguard and cream DiMarzio humbuckers, and is frequently confused with the BST-1000, which features an identical body, but came stock with a white pickguard and covered Gretsch humbuckers.

The Beast series also includes the symmetrical double cutaway BST-2000, and the neck-through body BST-5000.
