Description Brand: Gretsch String Configuration: 6 String Body Type: Hollow Dexterity: Right-Handed Model: Irish Falcon Body Color: Soul Green
Purchased in June of 2016 from Music Store Live. It's been out of it's case for maybe an hour since I brought it home. Seriously.
It is new and pristine in nearly in every way. Even has the plastic peel away on the pick guard still. It is NM so listing as excellent—there are a couple almost invisible hairline marks on the back that can only be seen in certain light and are hard to capture in pics, but please see photos — I am sure it arrived to me like that as Music Store Live sets and checks the guitar for quality before they send out. Most certainly they handled it more than I did.It is absolutely gorgeous. Won't disappoint the Bono or U2 fan, or just the lovers of guitar-as-art ... this thing is quite a specimen. Even the Boss has played it on stage with U2.Comes with case and all original paperwork from Gretsch and Music Store Live and will be sent insured in original Gretsch shipping box.Retails for $4,999. I bought for $3,500. Please don't be afraid to make an offer. ...here's a description from the Gretsch website. many more details there.The Goal is Soul!
