Gretsch Peppermint Twist with Bigsby tailpiece and bridge.  Although these parts are not original, they are improvements over the stock hardware and seem to have been installed a very long time ago.  I think these guitars were made is 1962, and this one has the cooler huge knobs, which later ones don't always have.  This guitar has been played a lot and has a fair number of dings, but the back is in great shape and everything is solid. It has the original HiLoTron pickup and sounds and plays great!  The guitar has a sort of 50s-style thick neck (but not huge) and small frets, which are in good shape.  Pretty lightweight and comfortable. It is ready to rock!  I have the original cardboard case, which is pretty much worn out.
