Seems Gretsch back in the day was to electrics what Yamaha is to acoustics. Affordable, legit guitars that many began on.
I vow to get a Gretsch. And for some reason I have always felt it should be orange. They just feel right. And gotta love that Gretsch sound.
Oddly enough, I often think acoustics look unfinished without pickguards but my electric purchase was a pickguardless Tele. The flamed maple amber top just was too nice to cover....
Thanks for sharing your great stories. Keep ‘em coming!
