Thanks for your thoughts......not a great response from Fender u.k. or the Gretsch/fender us...basically contact your local gretsch dealer and they will inform you how much it will be and an estimated delivery date, i know its strange times at the moment but i expected someone to stick the bit in an envelope and send us x amount and thats it.......i was going to buy one of the Gretsch Chet Atkins top of the range guitars but i won't be bothering now.
So there we go one Gretsch guitar stuck in its case.....useless.
