please mind that i am player first.  i play guitars so unless i mention it directly in the description you can expect that i played the guitar or used the part. so it is not new. if you want new guitar please go to the store. there are only two guitars in my recent auctions that i played but once  and it is mentioned right there in the description. if you send me an offer to end the auction early it will go to /dev/null and if you don't know what it is i suggest to you to better yourself and google it.  .

all the auctions are as-is and no returns. it is auction duh! local pickup is cash only.
and please check my other auctions as usual - it is worth it

here is  famed 67 gretsch corvette with gretsch branded bigsby b-5. this is about as good guitar as epiphone dwight + the bigsby. condition if this instrument is completly restored. it is complete refinish, new pickup covers, new pickguard made from template of the original gassed out celluloid one  and NOS rugby button van ghent tuners. i did the work and i am proud of it. the guitar came to me in like 10 layers of paint including blue horrible automotive top coat. i stripped it to bare wood, plugged the holes from badass and sealed it and gave it new period nitro refin. it comes with soft shell case. the main benefit of this guitar is the weight, it is the lightest mahogany guitar i ever held. second nice thing is easy access to the high frets. the action is low - as low as it gets. i like everything on this but the neck profile. it is D profile at the best, it is bit too chunky  for me.  if i knew i would have shaved it down to more c style before finishing - oh well.

if you have a question

(real question) please do no hesitate to ask i'll get back to you as my busy schedule allows if you want some extra picture i will try to please you
but i will need your real email address since ebay massage system is useless for that.  the auctions will run its full length unless you hit buy now
if it is available .  i am not interested in any "trades".

PAYMENT & SHIPPING & PACKING & whatever

local pickup prearranged with cash only . i must insist that i will absolutely not accept  paypal payments for local pickup calls.

domestic shipping: lower 48 = ups ground , alaska & hawaii & territories = usps priority

international shipping : it is your call. i have good experience with airmail and express mail (it can be insured up to $5000 these days - so i was
told) but there are some size limitations there. if your country has smaller size limits i simply can't ship big 12 string d size or jumbo or bass
case to you with usps.  so please mind that in that situation ups or fedex....etc will apply instead.  usps, ups, fedex, dhl whatever you request i
will use. now  please understand that if you ask me to declare let's say $300 value on a package i will do it but it can't be insured for more and
so it is your responsibility to deal with it anything should happen to it. also i have no problem shipping to your friend/family member in usa so
they can bring it over for you if you feel it is better option. after all i lived in europe half of my life so i know both sides of the story. please
mind that it takes more time  for international to get it out and than it can be sitting at local offices of your country.

please give me and address in checkout and i'll send you invoice within day or two.

domestic paymen= evil paypal (cleared payment), personal check (around 10 days to clear), major bank money order, postal money order (is the
best) international payment = paypal or wire transfer (cleared payment) or if you have relative in usa they can pay me here like domestic  and i
can ship it to them if you prefare.

and just for sure again local pickup is with cash only and all the auctions are as-is and no returns.
