Taking $400 off the original $1,600 asking price -- now only $1,200 cash! Wonderful sounding, easy playing, 8 pounds even (on my digital home scale), 2001 Terada factory build for sale. This one is the only black 'burst example I can find in the used market at the moment, and I'm going to call it as being in VG+ condition (you might find it EXC but I'm leaning conservative here so no one can claim either surprise and/or anything less than extra full disclosure), given that there's a small finish chip on the top edge of the treble side bout and mild clouding of the clearcoat around that top edge,, some flaking of the chrome on the "G" tailpiece, a less than invisible past install and holes-filled removal of an aftermarket Bigsby, and a nice quality roller bridge that's rock solid (i.e., no pings or rattles) but obviously not the stock TOM these guitars shipped with from the factory. Here are the specs straight from the Gretsch marketing copy of the period... GRETSCH G6114B Carved maple top with flamed maple lamination Mahogany body with comfort fit back 13″ wide x 1.7″ deep 2-pc mahogany neck Ebonized rosewood fingerboard “Jet” humped block inlays on fingerboard “T-roof” Gretsch pearl inlay on headstock Width at nut 1.7″ 24.6″ scale 22 jumbo frets joined at the 16th fret Adjustable truss rod Chrome Hardware Dual FilterTron pickups -- TV Jones Design Pickup selector switch, master volume, master tone, 2 volume controls, straight side jack "G" stop tailpiece -- short Tune-O-Matic bridge Transparent Black Comes with the form-fitting, plush, locking (key included) Gretsch-brand TKL hardshell case pictured, which isn't new but is entirely undamaged (and might even be original, I don't know). Frets are in great shape, there's no crackle from the electronics, and you'll get a variety of tough tones (and sweet cleans, too) from these TV Jones-designed Power'Tron-like pickups. Be the only player on your block -- probably in your State -- with one of these relatively rare birds -- er, Jets! I've averaged the prices of the two Antique Maple and two Transparent Red examples available online right now, and -- unlike them -- am throwing in CONUS ground shipping at my expense (or will knock a hundred bucks off the price for in person, local [cash] pickup). Am also NOT asking a premium for the less common and quite striking (to my eyes, anyway) Transparent Black finish, so, we're talking a total of $1,200 (marked down from $1,600), all in. Oh, and -- almost forgot -- I'm not interested in trades of any kind. Thanks for checking out this post!
