I now own one of the coolest guitars ever made: one-off 1938 Gretsch Prototype. Pics!

Re: I now own one of the coolest guitars ever made: one-off 1938 Gretsch Prototype. P

Any suggestions? What's your reasoning? I'm not arguing, just wondering what brought it up.

If I was going to name it anything, I'd likely name it Jim after my grandfather and biggest male influence. But "Jim the Guitar" is a goofy name.

"The Mean Buddy"



P.S: The Green Buddy isnt a goofy name?? hahaha!

I don't know...I just thought that such an instrument required a name, as all great guitars in history ( Lucile, frankenstrat, Pearly Gates).

lol! Yeah it probably is goofy, but he is my buddy! I really like that silly guitar, for no real reason. And thank you by the way. I know it can't be everyone's cup of tea, like I say, if everyone had the exact same tastes, the world would be boring. So it's no biggie!

And you bet your Sweet Child o Mine playin' ass there'll be a big pics thread! I've been waiting 4 months to see my guitar. There'll be pictures.

Ah, that's true. Well one might come to me when I'm playing some day. That's not something I "think up" so much, more just something that happens.

I'm dying to find out how the action is on that guitar. Looks a bit high on the top, and i noticed the bridge seems to be cranked down.
 
Re: I now own one of the coolest guitars ever made: one-off 1938 Gretsch Prototype. P

It's slightly under 1/8" at the 12th fret
