WOW, Mitch! if these are the Gretsches you're selling, I'd be scared to death to touch a "keeper!"
Beautiful guitar---Glad I already got one, so I don't have to put myself through all that again!

:lol: Yeah, it's tough deciding on 'keepers' for sure. Thought this was one, but I have the Walnut version also which is fine. This is going to make room for 6120 CGP model. A self imposed 3 Gretsch rule :wink:

If Jack Nicholson was a guitar, he'd be a Gretsch! I gotta get a 6122. I got a White Falcon, and a 6120, and an Electromatic, but they kinda don't count...Do They? :whoa:

That's the first non-walnut brown Country Gent I've seen. I have a 1960 I bought new and thought there was only the one color offered. Very nice.
