Would prefer without the gold plate but otherwise nice.

I normally don't like gold, but I think it fits here. I guess this should give us all hope though, if Lint can get a signature guitar, anybody can. That's not to say that I don't like rancid, I love the first three records. Freeman is the dude that should have the signature gear.

Hhmm yeah the look is fine as new but I can't stand how quickly it wears off and the end result doesn't look particuarly good most of the time to my eyes.

Pretty ugly.

$1150. Too much.

I think it's way pretty, but too rich for what it is.

HA! That's what it reminded me of.

I personally believe more guitars should be finished with just some flat black auto primer and a coat of poly.

Gretsch is the master of colors.
The cadilliack green and this, and the red ones..
And the blue.
They know how to color a guitar.

I dont like gold on guitar,bet here it looks really nice.

why does the pickup switch have to be so far from the other controls on the guitar? it the same with gibson guitars :b really strange i think!! but nice guitar, looks cool with black n' gold..

I usually like Gretsch guitars a lot, but not really this one.
Think it's the upper bout - looks squashed. And the tail piece doesn't really do it for me either.

The headstock is squashed too!

The placement of the 4 knobs below the f-hole and thong-wedgie tailpiece ruin it. It just looks chubby and cumbersome.

color = great

4 knobs = dumb

should be silver hardware and pup rings too imo.

He used to play a white Epiphone LP Custom, so that's coo. The drummer's playing Gretsch too so they must've gotten a dealio.

Love White Penguins.
