Seriously though, nice shot! I'm going to assume your favorite things are smoking a pipe and playing the Gretsch. If they are sittin' a spell and self-portrait photography, then I apologize!
I admit, I always thought they looked cool. Finally, I decided to see how they really sound and needless to say, I was impressed enough to drop the money.
Advice to budding guitar players:
Don't test a Gretsch unless you have $800 dollars to spare.
Don't test any guitar through an all tube amp, either. That will cost you $1,500 dollars.
I'm not kidding.
