1953 Gretsch 6193 Synchromatic II
Here we have the earlier version of the model, which was Gretsch's intended competition with Gibson's top of the line L-5 CES. It was considered the premier professional archtop electric of its era and is said to have outsold the Gibson throughout the '50s. Pickups are DeArmond Dynasonic single-coil, woods are laminated spruce and flame maple and it has parallel braces.
Our "Cash price" policy: unfortunately, the credit card companies support "swiped" charges in which the card is physically run through the card reader. Phone-in charges are charged at a much higher rate (to the seller) which can take quite a big chunk out of a high-dollar sale. Thus, for those call-in sales, let's discuss the issue at the time; hopefully, we can figure some way to deal with it.
