This Gretsch Jet Firebird was made in the USA in 1956. This is a great sounding and playing vintage Gretsch. The finish on the top and face of headstock is original, but the black back and sides have been redone. The parts are original except for the bridge which is a 60's unit we think. At some point this guitar had a neck reset and there are 2 filled dowels in between the last 2 frets. The original dynasonic pickups sound awesome. This guitar has been pro-setup in our store and plays great. It comes with a non original hard case.
