Citrus Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Gretch 6128 EE Elliot Easton Signature w/Bigsby Basically a DuoJet with LOTS of improvements that make it a more versatile, reliable, and great-sounding instrument Elliot Easton signature pickguard and truss rod cover - 2 Filter'tron pickups. - 25" scale neck, which is .5" longer than standard, yields a bit more string tension, more twang - Set bridge, which REALLY helps with keeping the guitar intonated & stable - Bigsby B7 tremolo system; additional bar behind the bridge creates a steeper angle & increases sustain - Locking tuners. - Graphite nut - Master volume knob has a special pot that preserves high end as you roll it off, individual PU volume knobs have standard pots that give you the traditional 'rolled off' sound. Best of both worlds here - ebony fretboard, slight V shaped neck Gretsch (Cadillac ?) Green & gold hardware. The bigsby arm doesn't have much gold plating left on it, and there is quite a bit of tarnish as well as some pitting on the bigsby, bridge and knobs. Frets are in great shape. The guitar is in great shape overall an 8/10 definitely not "mint," but by no means a "player's guitar." One small 1" scratch - more of an indentation on the top between the volume knobs. Doesn't show in pics, and only noticeable in the right light/angle. The back of the guitar and the neck is very clean - no scratches,dents or dings. There is some flame to the mahogany on the neck. There is still plastic on the control cover as well as the volume cover. Collectible for a Gretsch, as they are no longer made, and I believe there weren't too many of them made. Comes with Orig Gretsch hard shell case in good 8/10 condition as well $1550 Shipped Fender Kon Tiki Strat - (1 of 25! wow) Maple neck with 2 tiki masks inlaid at the 12th fret Body is Green with Bamboo graphics - matching headstock Single coil @ neck, with humbucker at the bridge Trem bridge All original Comes with orig plastic hard shell case - will check to see if I have case candy $1,350 shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchee Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Man, that's a beeooootiful Gretsch! Cadillac Green and gold hardware is the shiznit (and I'm not a big fan of green OR gold hardware, this is one of the exceptions!). Edited to add: It looks like money! Just in time for St. Pat's Day, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
