This is a VG+ 1973 Country Gentleman (10th month) with a beautiful cherry finish.
It is all original with two Filteron pickups. It also features a Bigsby vibrato and gold tone hardware.
These are true F-holes, not the 'simulated' ones found on earlier models.
...
original HSC which is also in excellent condition.
A classic Gretsch to play or add to your collection. The Gold Tone
Hardware shows fade, but every Chet and Tennessean with the gold
hardware has this fade (well most). I bought it as a collectors' piece 25 or so
years ago (hasn't left the house). All the binding around the headstock and fretboard is, like
in minty condition.
Excellent string height and action from top to bottom.
The case is in amazing condition.
Perfect profiled neck. Smooth and very comfy.
Bigsby vibrato / tailpiece in excellent playing condition. Very responsive.
Thumbprint / half moon inlays on fretboard.. These are sweet looking.
It is missing one of the small screws on the bridge - see photo (very easy to find).
Very little wear anywhere, and has no dings, but one good scratch on the back of the neck......see photo
