An excellent looking guitar.. I’m sure it plays as good as it looks..
I’ve been looking for a Van Eps string dampener for ages.. they’re very allusive .. if not unobtainable.

Nice guitar! Gretsch and "issue free" is almost an oxymoron. LOL My friend Pete who deals a lot of archtops had one recently, but it had the dreaded binding rot.
