Gretsch £475 posted/£450 collected SOLD

A wonderful guitar, I purchased from the Supeb Jooky, but I mainly play the tele now!

It has a few small dinks and marks, some on the headstock.  One on the body just above the bigsby.  One on the edge which has been filled, these are the most notable.

It has 2x push/pull pots to split/coil tap the pickups to single coils, one for each pickup.

Recently setup by my tech (John Le Voi) and sounds sublime!

Description "lifted" from original ad:

So from the top, it is a Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet, in Sparkly Gold with a rather nifty Bigsby as well.

But that isn't all. It  also comes with a verily cool and solid feeling Gretsch hardcase (it is slightly bigger than a Les Paul so normal cases don't fit) which comes in at £129, and it has also been rewired with good quality pots etc.

The top of the shop is given over to a matching pair of TV Jones Power'trons which basically are gorgeous - a mahoosive sound and full of grit and general squalidness. They are rather lovely, it is true. They cost the chap £250 fitted and dare I say they were worth it? Probably.

Other than that, the original pickups are in the case too.

    Strat:

    MIJ 62 (made in 94 I think) neck, Mexican body, custom shop hot noiseless pickups, steel block.  Sounds crazy good, really really good for blues, but again I only play the tele.

    No hardcase, I could buy one for posting though, a little bit road worn, mainly on the edge of the fretboard and the headstock.  No rear backplate.

    £350 collected or £375 posted Sold

  • My Cornford Harlequin's like a mini-AC30... Any interest in a trade for the Gretsch?

    Hmmm, I have been looking longingly at that for a while...but I think it will have to be a no, I kinda want a few more watts and possibly a different speaker, thanks.

  • I veeeerry nearly bought the Gretsch when Jooky was selling it but we couldn't quite do the deal for whatever reason. It still looks bloody lovely, however we have a little one on the way in a couple of weeks so am a self imposed gas ban!  :(

    That Gretsch would be a very nice partner for my Goldtop Les Paul DC...

    Must find the funds somewhere. May be time to move a few things on!

    I have one myself!  I have a mate after one though, so we might be able to sort something out.

    Colour, hardcase, condition?

  • Let's see if I can get a picture to work....

    http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae297/markslade07/3f961cd651f4a67a70c023f84ac960fa.jpg

    Comes with that tweed hardcase...outside it a bit tatty, but works perfectly. Guitar itself it in great condition, though I can double check for any bumps or scratches if there is interest.

    I do have a friend who also may be interested in my Baja, so there is a chance that one way or t'other we could do a deal.
