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.

$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.

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.
