Jimmie Webster had way too much influence on Fred Gretsch II . . .

No, but it seems like every year they come out with a "new" Les Paul. Webster once submitted a completely padded guitar to the company but that one got voted out.
I also read once where Fred II asked Webster "Why should I pay some hillbilly to play our guitars?" That seems harsh but, who knows... New York people took a dim view of mid fifties country musicians.

...that's how it looks to me...The opinion expressed above is my own and does not necessarily reflect the views of this station. Your mileage may vary...
