Here we have a 1975 Gretsch Broadkaster equipped with a Bigsby tailpiece. This guitar is in Very Good vintage condition with just normal playwear and a few small dings here and there. A few small cracks on the pickguard and pickup rings, but they’re hard to see. The sunburst finish is particularly attractive on this one.
Original tuners. Comfortable 1 11/16 inch nut width with a zero fret. Maple neck with a 24.75 inch scale length and a depth of .8125 inches at the first fret and .9375 inches at the twelfth fret. Rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 frets in good shape. Two Gretsch Super ‘Tron pickups. Adjust-o-Matic bridge. Gretsch-branded Factory Bigsby tailpiece. Original Gretsch black pickguard with one small crack at top.
This is not your usual Gretsch model but we love it all the same. It’s a wonderful piece of Gretsch history. Comes with its original hardshell case in very clean condition.
