About to pull the trigger on a Gretsch

By chance I found myself in my local music store and the man goes: "Yo dude, you won't believe what we got in."

That guy KNOWS that I'm a huge fan of Brian Setzer AND he knows that I love Les Paul style guitars.

And figuring that I wanted a little more sophiticated guitar in my arsenal I paid a little advance and if luck is on my side I'll be picking it up next week.

That's cool Wouter. I bet you can't wait.

Well, what you've got is a "Les Paul" that Setzer would be proud of.

The best of both worlds (classic shape, but Gretsch glamour and Filtertron tone).

You are gonna love this little Gretsch.

Wouter, would like to see some photos when possible.

Not a "Sparkler" (more like a fire truck...)

Does the horseshoe on the headstock denote anything? I see some have it, some don't.

Jack I'll promise to have vanity shots taken with that guitar as soon as I get it.
