VINTAGE LATE 50'S EARLY 60'S GRETSCH CLIPPER!Clipper is missing some parts that should be easy to find.It is as solid as solid gets...Nothing loose construction wise.Pickguard is missing (most of the hardware for pickguard is on the guitar).Pickup is missing (probably had a P90 dog ear).One volume/tone knob is missing.The capacitor between volume and tone pots had broken off...I looked into it and the capacitor is still available. There is also enough wire between the two to solder a capacitor on.Guitar is well worn which to me means it had been well played...not a guitar someone put in a closet and forgot about...(Guitars are meant to be played...and in my opinion a well played guitar is a treasure)I had used this guitar for sometime acoustically and It played great!
*One further note: The pics of the rear of the headstock looks as if there is a crack *New Development: The clear coat and paint are worn in that area and the area that looks like a crack is part of a laminated double line the entire length of the neck. Pics to come but in the meantime look closely at the heel and you will see 2 lines...look very closely at the very top of the headstock and you will see these same lines.
