I purchased this guitar new in about 2007 from Musician's Friend. MF was having a sale where they were blowing these guitars out for a really inexpensive price, presumably because the model was being dropped from the Gretsch product line. I hadn't yet owned a guitar with Dynasonic pickups and so, with the incredibly inexpensive price, I went ahead and purchased it.

It is a great guitar which has a reasonable weight, particularly when contrasted with my Les Paul.
