I just noticed that the Gretsch DuoJet is down to $999 at MF....even with the price blow-out of a couple weeks ago it was only down to $1299....

I too saw that, Alisha. It's getting too tempting...
I'm holding out some hope that the Country Classics will be reduced to $999.

Go for it John-O. I agree with you on the CC's.

They are massively overstocked. My first TR was made in early '04. That's nearly 3 years ago. When I called them to secure return authorization on it (cracked neck joint), I asked if there were many left. The woman on the phone checked stock and laughed. She told me there were a whole lot of them on the computer. So I asked for a recent production one as a replacement. My replacement is a late '05.
I paid $2300.00 for my '59CC (the odd one). At the time (over a year ago) it was a very fair price for a then-hard-to-find guitar. I suspect that the '62s are overstocked, as prices on these have been dropping, but I'd feel badly if the '59s got caught up in this too...snif...

Yeah, well, pick it up and put some good pickups on it...
I don't know why Fender/Gretsch changed from the single-coil DA2000s to the double-coiled DumBuckers they are using now. I understand that they are changing back, though.

Ahhh, you got one?! Way to go!
I messed around with a silver sparkle Duo Jet the other day. It only made this 10x more tempting!

Nah, not this time! I just got my sweet little 615 "cresting wave" yesterday, and am still waiting on my Annie's, LOL!
I'm already overloaded, and Marc's overspent...!
