The best mis-spelling I ever saw, (Gretsch related) was a photograph of one of the earliest pre-FMIC prototypes, a duo jet I think, that had the word GERTSCH on the head. That would be a collectors item!
I agree that the quality of the current Gretschs is very good.

That´s a true story, only that it´s a 6120 model. The picture on page 84 in Jay Scott´s book on The Guitars of the Fred Gretsch Company shows it. The caption reads, "Asleep at the wheel: Brooklyn´s crack quality control team signs its work on the headstock of this early couble cutaway 6120". Will the present owner - if any - please chime in? That one must be a true one of a kind.

Country Gentlman or Country Gentleman... it should be spelled Country Gentleman
Maybe Fender corp went to the post office, because they dropped off a letter.

Me thinks that you might have gotten the MITT ROMNEY Limited Edition model by mistake ! ! !

Tell him you want $250K for it . . . -that's LUNCH MONEY for him ! ! !
If BRUTE-FORCE isn't working, you're not using enough ! ! !
