I had pre-ordered my copy and it arrived last week. It is extremely well-researched and nicely presented. The main focus is on the development of the 6120, but Ed provides a lot of interesting info on the history and production methods at Gretsch and covers other models too, especially pre-Atkins models.

I had it pre ordered since January from Amazon UK ,after 4 or 5 updates they cancelled,said it was no longer available .
I emailed Ed and he was just as confused as I!

Thanks for the comments regarding this new Gretsch book. It looks like it will eventually be in my library.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I picked up my copy at the Philly Guitar Show a couple of weeks ago (Ed Ball was autographing copies) and I'll second libratune's comments - it's a very well done book and a worthy addition to your library.
