Identify an old Gretsch Acoustic

  1. This is a 1962 Acoustic Gretsch (I think?) the serial number is : 49654 the label is inside the guitar F hole. I cant make out the model number, it is so light now you cant read it. I've included pics. This guitar belonged to my Father, he passed away years ago, before I ever thought to ask about it. Thanks for taking a look for me.

  2. this is the inside label with serial #

  3. That's a circa '62/63 model #6003, also referenced as the Jimmie Rodgers model and the Folk model.

  4. You are truely awesome.. less than a minute to answer a question I've had for 20 years.. Thanks soo much!

  5. KCeddieB knows his Gretsch guitars. I bet he could write a book about them.:D

  6. I'll admit... I live for these "what have a got..." posts! We discover some great specimens by people just stumbling in with their family heirloom Gretsch's.

    Here's more info Scott... from the '63 Gretsch catalog.
