some buckle rash on the back, consistent with normal use for an instrument of this age. The finish shows only mild signs of handling, and there are no major dings, cracks, or repairs. The frets are clean, the neck is straight, and the electronics are working perfectly.

It has been fully set up in our shop: fresh strings installed, truss rod and relief adjusted, frets polished, nut and action dialed in, and pickup height balanced. It plays beautifully and delivers that open, articulate Gretsch tone with the signature jangle and dynamic response the Tennessean is known for.
