Here it is folks...my newish GRETSCH ELECTROMATIC JUNIOR JET II!!!

Recently, I sold my Ibanez acoustic amp for a princely sum of $120. Lucky me found this particular guitar this morning on Craigslist for...$120. It's beautiful. Has one small paint chip, but who cares. Finish is otherwise flawless and well-taken care of. It's been recently set up by a pro. action is great. the pickups are cool. It's a great guitar. My Strat is going to be feeling lonely these next few days.....

Great Guitar, and I gotta give a BIG +++1 to "The Beatles Compltete Chord Songbook" in the background it is a very good and accurate book...

thanks guys...

I don't have the ability to record, so I can't post sound clips. I'm still experimenting with the amp knobs when this one's plugged in anyway.

Man, that is a sweet axe.

Lately, I've been getting into Gretsch, too. :wink:

thanks slej! I love that little sun emblem, and I actually have small (or big) vinyl decals of it on a lot of my gear. I don't think I'll put one on the Gretsch though...maybe a tiny tiny one.

I'd go right in the middle of the pickguard ... or a tiny tiny one on the truss rod cover.
