I can see why he fell for her - she's beautiful, sounds great and plays like a dream.I would say that she is in pristine "as new" condition but when I was taking photographs I notices a small scratch on the headstock which I have tried to show in the seventh photograph. It is only in the lacquer and would probably rub out if it were an issue for you.She is all original except that the stock Adjusto-matic bridge was swapped out for a roller bridge that works better with Bigsby type vibrato. I will provide the original if it's required.This guitar retails for between £700 and £850 so here's an opportunity to pick up a wonderful instrument at a bargain price.**Case included**From the Gretsch website:http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/build/center-block/g5655t-cb-electromatic-center-block-jr-double-cut-with-bigsby-super-hilotron-black-top-filter-tron-pickups-rosa-redThe G5655T-CB Electromatic® Center-Block Electric Guitar features That Great Gretsch Sound!™ with the "Center-Block advantage." The interior solid spruce Center-Block runs the length of the guitar’s 1 ¾"-deep Double Jet™ body, making for a lively "high gain-friendly" tone and delivering greater control over the kind of feedback players want. The dual-coil Super Hilo’Tron™ humbucking neck pickup is voiced to produce a clean, high end sparkle with robust low end and low-noise performance. Together with the "Black Top" Filter’Tron™ bridge pickup, it’s a potent tonal combination.Other premium features include five-ply maple body construction with a bound arched top and back, a bound maple neck and a 12.5”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and Neo-Classic™ "thumbnail" inlays. The G5655T-CB also has three-way pickup switching, single-ply black pickguard with Gretsch® logo, four "G-Arrow" control knobs (volume for each pickup, bridge-pickup-only tone and master volume), anchored Adjusto-Matic™ bridge and flat-handled Bigsby®-licensed B50 vibrato, Grover® tuners and knurled strap retainer knobs.Please note: free shipping in the UK excludes British Isles, Scottish Highlands and N.I.
