The Chetboard

Sure it doesn't have the Prismatone....but it would be a prime candidate for one....if anyone is interested.

I'd also like to give everybody a heads up.....Fred Gretsch told me at the Chet convention that Gretsch is going to reintroduce the Gretsch Dorado classical and it's gonna have the Prismatone pickup with the knob on the bridge. I'm not sure if Fred has worked out something with Sam or not. Fred told me personally it was one of the things that Paul wanted introduced again in the Gretsch line.

Hope it has that clubby neck on it like the Baldwin (you can always shave it down, Phil...)

Wow, that is really great news Phil! Would be curious how the Dorado('s) would be priced. Also if there's going to be several models, like the old 5984 and 5952 ones (and the others without the pickup).
