Gretsch Red Wine Pearl 1969 Last viewed: 3 hours ago

I've been tinkering with these lately, thought I'd share a pic. They will go on the market later this week, either Ebay or consignment in the metro Boston area. The wrap is one of the coolest I've ever seen!

What sucks...was I already had it pre-sold to a customer in Japan...

So,all I could do was open the boxes...check them out for damage,then box them back up...ship them to Japan!

Had I seen them first...I would have wanted to keep them forever!

Premier made a very similar finish in the 70's......called Burgundy Pearl......

Ron on here has a Prem 18,12,14 in that finish.....! Lucky dog......

Man! Those look great. Such a period wrap and those T's, claws and lugs jump right off. Love those Gretsch T's and claws.

Bravo!

Those look great. Was this the CL set that was on CL a while back? I saw one identical like this on CL NH and replied imediately. The woman I spoke to said someone was coming to look but I was next in line if they passed. That was a great score for someone!

Yes, these are the ones. I've only seen one other like this ever!

Wow... those look better than a good steak bbq with a cold beer. Really really love the wrap! Whoever it was that's buying them, tell they were eaten by aliens, and keep 'em!
