Gretsch Viking 1967 or 69 Vintage original. An incredibly cool and rare vintage Gretsch Viking in excellent, super clean condition. 2nd only to the White Falcon in the Gretsch line. The neck is straight and plays great with low action in every position due to incredible workmanship and the Zero fret! The neck is a medium size with a quick smooth feel. The floating tuning fork bridge is not installed but is included-See 1st picture, it's resting on the strings above the bridge. Everyone that really played this guitar took the tuning fork bridge off. But it is included.Original Supertron pick-ups sound amazing. They are super warm and punchy, with incredible bright sparkly highs. This one really has that signature Gretsch Tone. All gold hardware with sweet gold Bigsby tremolo. Some of the gold is worn off as gold does wear, especially on the tremolo arm but the rest of the Bigsby looks great and the pick-ups also look very nice.Excellent condition with some very minimal signs of wear. Part of the foam from the string mute is missing. Very few nicks. The binding is in excellent condition, the best I’ve seen. The finish is in excellent condition. It shines up very nice, see picture # 1, I shinned it up after I took the initial pictures compared to picture #2 which is a little dull. Overall this Gretsch Viking is the best I’ve seen in many years. It's only a matter of time before these prices of these Gretschs' catch up with the Gibsons, Fenders, Rickenbackers etc. of this era. Question 67 or 68 is buy this Gretsch, if you want the sweetest Gretsch Viking available. International sales only available through Ebay's Global shipping. Please ensure that you qualify for Ebay's global shipping before bidding.
