~1956 Gretsch Paramount Archtop Hollowbody Electric Sunburst
This vintage original circa 1956 Paramount hollowbody archtop electric was made by Gretsch in Brooklyn, NYC, USA!
Plays remarkably well with a good action and straight neck.
Features a stunning original Sunburst finish.
Nice fat 50s style neck feels amazing....they don't make em like this anymore.
Original Franz pickups sound remarkably warm, round and organic. Very punchy and clear with a clean tone. Wired originally out of phase so the two together are great for that classic clear, woody, old school blues tone. Sound like T. Bone without spending the cash on an ES-5!
A wonderful guitar for a singer songwriter.
It's got lots of mojo age and wear. Signs of wear throughout and deterioration to the binding.
Comes with nice vintage original hardshell case, too!
