Nice! When I lived in Nashville I picked up this '62 Gretsch in a little shop. It was labeled as a '68 refin, I didn't know anything about old Gretsch guitars other than I liked it and loved the price, they went down from $800 to $600. And, as a sweetener, that "not original" part on it is a vintage ABR-1.

I still play it even with the tiny frets and deteriorated neck binding but it really needs a one-over. Needs the back part thing fixed too, the fabric is all shredded. But instant Gretsch-iness when plugged in and I really like the color plus no f-holes look.
