Okay.. My grandpa recently passed away and he gave me this guitar before he died..

This man played this thing every single day he owned it. Right up to the day he passed.. What a great guy.
I was told this guitar was bought in 1977. I was also told it's an anniversary edition, but I'm not sure. I can't find the serieal number or anything..

This thing sounds phenominal. Even though it has like 4 year old acoustic strings on it! haha.

I need your guys' help identifying it..

It's a Gretsch[duh]. That's all I know.

Oh.. And he also gave me this amp.. It's a pretty amazing little amp.

Sorry for the bad pics..

Thanks.
Dave

I think this is a mid 70's committee guitar by what I have found in the last 30 mins of searching. Hope this helps.

Never heard of the committee guitar..
Is that a "good" one?

My dad told me it was worth around $6000 bucks..
