My first Gretsch. Bought it in 2007 on Ebay for $130, although not very Gretsch-like in terms of tone with the original Gretschbuckers. Since then, I've modified the heck out of it, including dumping the Gretschbuckers--a great player for such a cheap guitar! Like most of these guitars, the serial number was originally on a paper tag affixed to the back of the neck-- it was long gone when I got the guitar.
