This auction is for a real nice Gretsch 6118 made in 1963. The date was located by looking up the serial number on the Gretsch site. There is some honest wear; the original owner played up the neck and wore some paint off. See photos. There are a couple of tiny paint chips. The pick guard has a crack as does one of the plastic pickup trim surround. There was some headstock damage when I bought it but has been professionally repaired and no trace of it is evident. Everything works. Great guitar but I have too many and this one deserves to be played more. Thanks for looking.I normally guarantee my sales but this one is local pickup. You will be able see, touch, play and be satisfied before taking possession.Includes original case. Thanks for looking
