This guitar was given to me as a surprise gift for my 50th birthday on June 8, 2013. Over 30 friends and family members conspired to raise the money for the guitar, including many members of the Gretschpages. The "Great Gretsch Birthday Conspiracy" was spearheaded and organized by my awesome girlfriend-at-the-time (now my wife!). Many folks have a "holy grail" guitar-- this is mine.

My grail quest is at an end.
