Comes with original Gretsch hardshell case. Near mint, 9.5/10 condition. Very light play time on this one. Strung with TI flats. $1500 shipped.

These LTV Gretsch's are wonderful instruments. The TV Jones pickups and trestle bracing combined with a nitro finish make for a terrific sound and feel. It nails George tones and Setzer tones, looks uber cool/retro, and it plays great. What more could ya want?

PM with any questions or for more photos.

Now on Ebay. I'm willing to pull the auction (provided there are no bids) and sell it for the price in my ad to a forum member if anyone is interested.
