Beautiful. It's easy to see why you bought this instead of the Encore. Is this the guitar with the Day setup you asked about earlier?
How many raises and lowers does it have? We could tell if you posted a picture of the endplate.

This is a different setup than the one that had the Day setup that I was asking about. It's an Emmons setup. I saw this one when it was initially posted but hesitated because some suggested not getting wrapped up in an older guitar as a new player. I have a friend who plays and he told me to jump on it because it was an incredible deal. I contacted the seller and he said he already had a buyer. Darn! So I wrote him and told him to let me know if it didn't work out with the first buyer. To my surprise I got a call a week later and he said the first guy bailed. Told me there was nothing wrong with it, and he was the second owner, originally owned by a pro, and even came with the original receipt, warranty tag and and a copy of an email from Gene Haugh stating it was built on April 6, 1977 by Shot Jackson, shipped to Gretsch on April 15, 1977, then shipped to Don White Music in Poplar Bluff, MO on May 4, 1977.Mike Perlowin wrote:Beautiful.

The gentleman who I purchased the steel from is a member here. He was incredibly helpful and patient and answered my many questions. Told him if I was ever in his neck of the woods I'd buy him a beer, and he said he'd take me fishing! Can't complain about the civility and camaraderie that exists here on this forum, that so many other forums seem to lack!
Here's a picture of what I think you were asking about:
I made this chart and printed it out and keep it on the guitar for reference since I obviously cannot keep track of what everything does at this point! also laid down some painters tape and labelled the strings. After making the chart I found several already made online! That would have taken less effort, but I guess figuring it out on my own will help with learning! (Yes, I understand that D3 and Eb are the same note! I understand basic music theory, but have seen tuning charts where some label the 2nd string D3 while others call it Eb, and in my mind writing both down makes it easier!) I haven't even tuned or written out a chart for the C6 neck. At this point for me it doesn't even exist! One neck at a time!
