His Horn Went Beep Beep Beep

Someone at Fred Gretsch's must have been a big fan of the American Motors Rambler back in the '50s. Their enthusiasm for the compact automobile had to have been the inspiration for the Gretsch 6115 Rambler. The little 3/4 scale Rambler's Lotus Ivory top was similiar to some Rambler auto's paint scheme and the guitar even sported a red truss rod cover which was reminiscent of the Rambler car's taillight. This thing sounds sweet and has a really nice action-very playable, even to guitarists used to the standard guitar scale.
Here's my oldest modeling my '60 Rambler.

She's about three in this pic, is now almost seven. Her little sis is almost four and they already want to start a band! Here's Kelli watching "Wild Guitar" with Daddy's '57 Strat.
