Gretch

I had a 1967 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman like Harrison used . I liked it yet it was heavy, got a lot of different sounds out of it. Had it until 1972. I got a 1966 Epiphone Casino slightly used and liked it much better. I think I traded the Gretch for a Hofner Club bass.

That one looks really cool ancient1 .

I have only owned one Gretsch. This is my late brother and me. Dave is playing an Epiphone Emperor that was once mine. I am playing my Gretsch New Yorker which I no longer have.
Dave lost his battle with cancer nearly 10 years ago.



My son Clay has played a number of Gretsches, but this is the one he owns now.  He was playing in a rockabilly band at a custom car show and one of the pinstripers offered to do his guitar, so he took him upon it.  They are now great friends.

ancient1 , That sure is a fancy, cool looking guitar!

It's also more guitar than I would know what to do with!  LOL.   

(always thought those there handles down there were to change gears or something.  Never could figure out how to work 'em!        )

Ok, now you got me curious!  Could you elaborate on this? 

I thought they were just high end whammy bars.  I don't use them or have ever had one, so I have no idea what you can do with them really.
