The Geoff Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 You know, there's really only 2 instruments I *really* GAS after - one is an early 1980's Ibanez Musician bass, and the other is the Gretsch Country Gentleman. I love it. Long life to play it, Lee.

Zuben Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Ellwood, 71 I was in a music store that was closing and was playing around with the Chet Gretch. The more I played it, the better I liked it. It was $300. Yes, $300! I was getting ready to buy it when my friend, another guitar player says to me, Hey, that's a country guitar, stick to you SG or get a LP! I put my wallet away... Another great moment in my history! LOL Peace http://www.spotcheckbilly.com http://www.littlefeat.net http://www.bonnieraitt.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
