Now there are Gretsch's and there are amazing Gretsch's and immediately you know which one this is! Some of the finest guitars are produced in Japan and this one is no exception, it is both a players dream, and a work of art.

The flame top has faux "F" holes, giving the look of a classic semi acoustic, the body is semi hollow inside and the reasoning behind those "fake F's" is to eliminate feedback.

This used example is in great shape, no major issues to report here, only the very, very slightest evidence of play wear.
As you can see this one has the fitted Gretsch hard case and all original supporting paperwork.
