G branded by Fred Gretsch and Curt Wilson at the 2009 Nashville Roundup during the branding ceremonies. Branded on the back over buckle rash. Branded so the player can flip the guitar with it strapped on so others see it upright.
- Unusual factory features
Has Gibson appointments such as Clear plastic knobs and dimarzio humbuckers but still demands the zero fret. Also has a Gibson style solid body bridge.
I bought this as my first electric guitar in March of 1981. It's still my main gigging axe and was Branded by Fred Gretsch. It's very light weight but the pick up are hot.
