'54 Tenor Duo Jet, as far as all research goes we're pretty sure this one did belong to Arthur Godfrey at one point. I also have one of those knotty pines which is mentioned here.... viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2875 A couple of others kicking around, G6120W and an Anniversary Junior. Ummm, I think that covers my portion of the Gretsch collection.

That Synchro is amazing!!! Other than a few out of town trips I have played it every day since I got it in May. Otto D'Ambrosio in Rhode Island did the neck reset and it plays like butter, AND that's with 12s on it!!! The neck is super cool and I'm sure there's a technical term but it's escaping me at the moment. Basically it's chunky on the top half, low E through the D, then the bottom half tapers down towards the high E so it's slim on the underside, extremely comfortable, dare I say, almost ergonomic?

Um, sorry, can you tell I love this guitar? Wombat, I am jealous of yours but I feel like I totally hijacked your post so I apologize.
