Description
What makes this guitar special: A rare, vintage bass with all the classic Gretsch features - simulated F-holes, tone & standby switches, mute pad - just to name a few. The original burgundy finish has faded into more of a brown color & the bass shows off a beautiful patina. A real gem & a must have for any serious collector.
Cosmetic Condition: Overall the bass is in great shape with very little wear. There are various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & light buckle rash. The neck was professionally reset before we acquired it & the neck angle is perfect! The bass plays & feels great with no issues! It's been professionally set up & everything is in perfect working condition.
