I wouldn't worry about the made in Japan laments. From what I've been reading they play as well or better than the vintage Brooklyn originals. Provided you can find one that is in good shape.
FWIW, I did find my dream Gretsch, a 6120DC Chet Atkins in Western Orange, about a month ago in a small shop in NYC. They were asking 3400 dollars for it. I had to leave the store immediately. I still like being married.
They had a Country Gentleman (The George Harrison guitar) of the same vintage hanging next to it. Didn't even want to know how much.
I hate being poor.

Yep, pretty much my dream Gretsch also (6120DC Chet Atkins in Western Orange) but who doesn't love a White Falcon or a Country Gentleman?
