Talk me out of this Gretsch?

If it's a 2011 goldtop with the PRS-style revealed "binding" and light-colored mahogany back (later models had a black back and no reveal), DON'T - as you're aware they look/play like a far more expensive guitar, and as a limited edition they've already started to generate a certain amount of collector interest; I've turned down $1500 for mine (about twice what I paid new), and with the entry price of a P-90 goldtop presently in the $2500 range I suspect these babies are going to hold their value over the long haul...

Very nice. I need to play a guitar with P90’s someday. Enjoy it.

Nope!
Sorry but misery enjoys company!

I bought the Jr. Jet with a blacktop in the bridge and P-90 in the neck. Love it! Even though it is perfectly fine the way it is I often wonder what it would sound like with a TV Jones T-90.

Congratulations on your new guitar! I guess no one could dissuade you

Unfortunately no. Though my wife tried pretty hard! [emoji1787]
