A stunning 1930s Gretsch Hawaiian acoustic! This guitar has received some help from our friends at Portland Fret Works in the form of a new bridge, saddle, and a fresh neck reset, plus a previous professional refret. Among its unique features are a lovely silver MOTS headstock overlay and extra large neck, perfect for lap playing. This is a super cool guitar and the only one of its kind we've had come through the shop to date, so don't hesitate to scoop it up for yourself!
In Very Good Vintage condition with normal wear for an almost 100-year-old instrument, including scratches, nicks, and natural aging of parts and finish.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
