Hi folks!

A friend of mine came today and left this nice Gretsch guitar here.

He got this guitar some time ago, from the mother of a close friend who died in a car accident. He had it home for a long time, and asked me if I wanted it. I asked him to bring it to me.

It was dirt, with old, rusty strings, but the finish is mint, except to some dark rusting spots and screws.

I cleaned it up, changed the strings, it plays nicely.

He sad I could have it for a time, try it out. If I like it, then we can figure a price.

I already like it.

I want to know details about it, so we can figure a fair price for it.

I did some internet search, it seems to be a Duo Jet.

Here are some pictures:

Yes, it is. I went to bed at two, couldn't leave it aside. The TRC and the back covers all have the plastic on them still.

Thank you Standing, that was really fast.
