What's Hot

I traded my Japanese '62 Custom Reissue Telecaster, my VOX AC30 CC1 and some cash with @BillKat for this beauty - a Gretsch G6118T Jaguar Tan 125th Anniversary. :) :)

I've spent a good part of the afternoon playing it (having a really "Crampstastic" time!). 

 It sounds incredible, is an absolute joy to play, I can't fault it.

Got to say I think I've fallen in love! :) :)

Thanks once again @BillKat ;)

    That's the nuts, especially like the contrast of the back and sides

    Holy Wowsa, that is really a stunner. I love the finish on it with the differing top and side.
    Congrats on obtaining such a beautiful instrument :D

    Lovely guitar, congratulations :)
    I would love to change my username, but I fully understand the T&C's (it was an old band nickname). So please feel free to call me Dave.

    Very cool.
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    It's one of those colour schemes where if someone told you, you'd probably be pretty nonplussed but it looks stunning. Good snag.
