Topic: LGD ----- Less guitar days. Four more didn`t make the cut

4 more guitars and 2 VOX amps are now on consignment. A newer Harmony Acoustic.A 1950s Kay Jumbo. Fender Brown Derby Resonator. And a 1962?? Harmony Silvertone Jupiter. I looked at how much use they get. Started to look around my house. Trying to get down to 15-20 guitars. All the Gretsches are staying. Plus 4 pieces I have had since the early 80s. I do plan to get one more Gretsch with the money from the consignment sales.

Enjoy Every Sandwich

JJJ ... I would have thought a new Bread Machine would be a priority purchase with the proceeds from your sales? lol Those are some cool collectibles on the way out, but I'm sure the White Falcon and the Penguin will enjoy having some elbow room. What are you thinking of for the new Gretsch ... a "Jet"?

You may find this hard to believe, I already have a Pro Jet. Next is a New Yorker. I have an Epiphone Masterbilt archtop and love it. Now a Gretsch archtop is in the cards. More will be going soon. Now I have 8 in the music store on consignment.

Topdawgz does some pretty wonderful things with an Epiphone Masterbilt. I don't think it's an archtop though, but it might be.

That'll be awesome, JJJ ... the classic jazz box. I found this informative review on their Gretsch's current version @ Guitar Magazine:

Thanks for posting that. I have an Epiphone Masterbilt Archtop. I love it. It is surprisingly loud. If the gretsch is at least a decent level unplugged, I`m sure I will love it.

I took a l-o-n-g serious look at a Godin "5th Avenue" archtop a few years ago, but opted to go for the Gretsch "Streamliner". I have to say, though, that the archtop sounded amazing.
