Now I know you shouldn't buy a guitar just on looks alone, but come on......if you did with this one, everyone would forgive you!
Thankfully it's not just about looks here, as you can imagine, this Japanese special edition Gretsch is something else (no Eddie Cochran pun intended).
The TV Jones Filter'trons loading into the nitro finished semi hollow body deliver a unique tone which is instantly recognisable. 

This used example is very clean indeed, minor play wear in evidence, slight wear on the Bigsby arm gold plate, but anything is barely noticeable, it really is a great example.
As you can see it comes with the original Gretsch hard case, in excellent condition plus all the original support paperwork and COA.
