My new (to me) Cadillac Green Country Club is on it's way to me via USPS. It's the Dyna'Sonic version with a spruce top and hump block markers. A previous owner wisely replaced the G-cut tailpiece with a Bigsby. Can't wait.

You are awaiting the Top of the Pops. I'd take one of these over any two other new Gretsches!

I'm Cadillac Green with envy...

I love the Caddy green too,don't know why they ever dropped it from the Dyna Club range!

I missed out on one of these a few months ago, but it went to a good home in the end.

Congrats Chris,and post some pics when she arrives........please!

The guitar arrived today and to my surprise & delight it's the olive green version of Caddy Green, not the blue-green metallic shade that I thought it to be. I kept looking at it indoors wondering which shade I had gotten. It was obvious once I took it outdoors to see in direct sunlight. The guitar will need new strings, a good setup and tweaks to the Dyna pole pieces, but it sounds great without all of that. I'll get some photos up over the weekend.

These photos don't really do justice to the finish, as it appears more metallic than it really is. As cool looking as the SynchroSonic Melita bridge is, it rattles and I'm thinking it's also robbing sustain. I may go with a TruArc. The Dynas sound great. I'm still dialing them in, but they sound much better than when I first received the guitar.

Looks like I'll have to forgo the photos, as they're too large.

Chris: Congratulations. Please email me a photo and I will post it. The TruArc is a fantastic bridge.

As a recent owner of a Cadillac green Country Club myself I know how excited you must be. I have been playing mine every day for the past couple weeks. Really amazing guitar.
