There is a bittersweet story behind this one...
To try to make a long story short....I've had a 1940 Indian motorcycle for many years and always figured it to be a savings account for the future.
Tough times, a big car repair and some medical bills necessitated that I sell it.
I had some money left over and bought a couple guitars.
A GREAT guy I met through the Gretsch Pages hooked me up with this beauty.

sorry to hear about the medical bills
everything okay?
but the guitar looks pretty sweet!

Beautiful! I really like that tailpiece.

sorry to hear about your indian. i know all too well how much medical bills can add up. i hope you are in good health, and that you play the hell out of your awesome new guitar.

just curious; you said that you bought a couple guitars with the money. what else did you get besides this beauty?

Thanks for asking...
Typical American stuff that y'all European types may not have to deal with.
My son broke his arm...we have insurance, but the deductible is $3k, and my other son needs a 4 wisdom teeth out and we have no Dental insurance.
