Serial Number | GP99114473, built 2003 in Korea. |
Pricing | $675 CND with case. |
Neck | Maple neck with bound rosewood fingerboard, Gretsch neo-classic ‘thumbnail’ markers and dots on binding. 24.75″ scale length, 1 11/16″ nut width. The headstock uses a scarf joint, so it’s very strong. |
Frets | 20 medium frets in excellent condition with no appreciable wear. |
Body | Laminated maple slim hollow body with cats-eye soundholes. |
Finish | Tobacco sunburst gloss finish in very good shape. |
Hardware/electronics | Neck-mount mini-humbucking pickup, volume and tone controls on tortoise pickguard, output jack on side. Rosewood adjustable bridge with Gretsch Stair-step base. G-cutout tailpiece and sealed mini-tuners. |
Playability/Action | Plays very cleanly, a great little guitar for jazz use. |
Case | Hardshell dreadnaught case included. |
Comments | This is a relatively unusual guitar, and even more so as left handed. Gretsch introduced the Korean-built Historic Series line in 1999, and the last examples were made in 2003, replaced by the Electromatic line. Overall, this is a very nice little jazz guitar, just a bit bigger than a George Benson but smaller than an ES-175; it’s fully hollow with just longitudinal strut bracing. |
