I wanted one of these since before I learned to play, which at the time was impossible. Gretsch had stopped making guitars. I finally got my hands on this one just after Fender bought the company, and given the chance to compare it, on stage, with an original Gretsch of the exact same model, I found it to be identical in pretty much every way. The only minor differences were that I found my re-issue to be more playable and easier to keep in tune.
