since the early 1960's Gretsch guitars were an inspiration to me, more than Fender or even Gibson. Those Gretches had "something" I couldn't put my finger on it, but I knew it was there.
Rickenbacker 370-12 1966, Hofner 500/1 1966, Gibson ES-150 DCW 1970,
Vox Viscount 1967, Vox Series 90 1969. Yamaha PSR-9000 Midi Sequencer Arranger 2000

Yeah mine to. I'm fortunate to be the current caretaker of this unique treasure. Guitars are made to be played!

If you're gonna wash your guitar in the washing machine, you gotta throw it in the dryer ASAP. Otherwise, it gets all wrinkled like this one.
Beautiful Gretsch.......

In 2008 while celebrating the 125th anniversary, Gretsch and Stephen Stern/The Custom Shop put out 25 model 6120-125. They were essentially your typical 6120 but they finished them with a gold leaf and orange finish......truly one of the most amazing guitars I've ever laid eyes on. So.....I gotta go with one of those as the prettiest Gretsch yet.
