You're looking at a cool Gretsch 6119, essentially a single pickup 6120 in the classic orange-red color. This one dates to very late 1959 or early 1960. It has a patent number Bigsby, P.A.F. Filtertron, trestle bracing, and is stock except for the high quality replacement pickguard. We have the original guard, which was broken and reglued, but the replacement looks so nice! Has the original hard case. Binding is in good shape.
One of the Waverly keys is slightly bent. It works fine. There is gap in the binding on the butt end. Have a look at all the photos, ask questions.
This one plays fairly well and sounds great. $3,295. takes home!
