Still hanging out for a Rancher?

Well, if you're really want a brand new Gretsch Rancher, you know they've gone out of production! However, I found this with almost the exact same specs as the G6022C, but with some cosmetic differences:

Here I was going to say, that I'm not a rancher, but I do have a couple of horses! :D

I wonder if anyone has ever made an acoustic with a Bigsby...

I can think of one manufacturer...

Yeah - I wouldn't mind one myself!

Hopefully no-ones inspired to put a Floyd Rose on their D28.

The same guitar in blue is a Night Bird. Not many around. I had a Night Bird for awhile, but got rid of it partly because it seemed to be a solution in search of a problem. There were few times I felt I really needed a Bigsby on an true acoustic electric.

Except that a Rancher has mahogany back & sides instead of maple. Ergo, the tone is a bit softer than the brighter maple body wood.

I was can't remember who it is, but we have a member here with one. For some reason I'm thinking it was Raspy, if so he sold it. If you use the search button, there is more on this guitar.

The G6022C had maple neck, back and sides, and the G5022C had mahogany neck, back and sides. I think this Fender is based on the specs of the Pro series G6022C.
