Hi Joe here's an early 60's single anny (no fretboard binding) but has 1957 serial number.ĥ7 Chet. I sent Joe a PM a while ago to correct an error and thought I'd mention it again.Ģ1641 is a 1957 6121, Sunset Orange, Chet Solidbody not a 6130, Natural Roundup. Vintage 1961-62 - Looks just like the new Tenn. It is a Tenny, before they gave it a name. Eventually restored tone knob and removed mudswitch. Later changed out Super Imperial stair steps for 'butter bean' keys. Wider fingerboard prototype Butts SuperTron and 8k wound Filter Tron at the bridge. It's strung up with Pyramid flats, and through my Vox amp the sound is absolutely to die for.īe sure to check the old board for the 20 or so S/N#'s I picked up at the Philly vintage show today! - Ed 4 All the mute hardware is long gone, but switches, pots, and knobs are original. Binding has a few darker-looking spots, but basically very good. It had one original Filtertron when I got it, and I've added the second one. It has twin rail bracing, and no post or trestle, so it's fully acoustic, and surprisingly loud unplugged.
At the F-hole edges, it's easy to see that the top is 3-ply, and it measures just slightly under 1/8" in total thickness. It has a narrow 1-5/8" nut width, thumbnail inlays, and open F-holes which I've never seen before on a vintage Gent.
#LOTUS GUITAR SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBER#
Serial number stamped on the headstock plate is 48375. I have what I believe to be a 1962 Country Gentleman. I know it says send a PM, but this is an interesting guitar, so I thought I'd post it to the thread. Pictures welcome, and I may ask for more data late. Serial number, Pickups, Fret markers, bridge, tail piece, color, and anything unusual. As long as it has the standard Gretsch label or an engraved number on the top of the headstock, we need the number! All models from Burl Ives to Salvador, from Jets to Nashvilles.
#LOTUS GUITAR SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBERS#
I would like serial numbers from all Gretsch guitars from 49-64. Many areas like 58 and 59, we have many numbers for each batch, but some guitar batches are still missing. My goal is to have an entry every 100 numbers (aproximately each batch of guitars). A good portion of my serial number data base is now located here: ĭo we have your numbers yet? The only way to make this work, is for you to offer your data, as others have already. Tim and I have put together a way to share serial number research with all of you online. I thought it would be a good idea to carry that thread over. Many of you already know Joe (aka JackDaniels) is collecting and compliling vintage Gretsch serial numbers.
