Wow Steve!!! Those beautiful pieces of musical art for sure. A treat for the eyes and I’m sure more so to play - not mention some music history. One doesn’t see too many of the Brooklyn, NY Greysch Instruments around anymore.
Beautiful man! |

Given the AGF demographic, I figure we've all been in this game long enough to be selective droolers...

Don't know where you're located, but if you grew up in Brooklyn back in the '50s-60's Gretsch was not only your hometown brand (Epiphone sold out to Gibson in '57, Guild moved to Hoboken, Favilla was the domain of the folkies who couldn't afford a Martin - and none of us could afford a D'Angelico) but inevitably your first "good" guitar. That said, although there's plenty still out there in the NYC Tri-State area, unfortunately many of them have issues - binding rot (my own '64 Double Annie is a victim), neck problems (FYI Gretsch was one of the first to make the move to kiln-dried woods, in the postwar era - a move that cost them the endorsements of both Johnny Smith and Harry Volpe), bad pickups/wiring (mine was redone under warranty in 1966) - and with the remaining good ones increasing in price, the current Korean-made 5400-Series (and pre-2019 5600-Series) Electromatics and MIJ Professional Series are not only a viable option, but among the finest instruments ever to wear the marque...
