FS: Pressed Laminated Archtop Plates x2 - Gretsch Brooklyn Factory NOS

WezV

2x plates that originate from the old Gretsch factory in Brooklyn.

They are 3-ply maple/mahogany/maple.  I think both are backplates, but are symmetrical so could be used as top and back.  Both the same size for a large hollowbody guitars, marked with a B on the inside which is apparently for Backplate.  1 has a pencil outline and is a big grubbier than the other just from being stored on top of the other in a dusty wood room



Great for repairing an old Gretsch, or a new build with high quality laminates.   Its really hard to find pressed plates for this style of build.

£400 for the pair

maybe priced a bit keenly, maybe a bit too niche.   Make an offer.   You won't see any again!

If you’re not a member over at Gretsch Talk I’d be happy to share the details on my profile there.

i'm not a member there, but sure, if you think it will interest them.... and if they want to say i was asking too much, that is fine too

Done, if there’s any interest i’ll pass it on

no interest in these at that sort of price, so open to offers around £250?
