2818.0. "Question about Gretsch Model ?" by STORK::CURRY () Wed Sep 29 1993 17:00

    I have a question for you guitar "trivia" experts;
    
    I used to own a Gretsch solid body electric, but I can't for the life
    of me remember what model it was. It looked similar to the Ernie Ball/
    Music Man guitar that Van Halen uses, but it had a neck/headstock
    similar to the Paul Reed Smith. It was also equipped with 2 humbuckers.
    
    I had to sell this guitar a long time ago (I regret it now, as I loved
    the way it played and sounded) and I'd like to keep an eye out for one.
    Any help you can give, or if you own one of these "Mystery Gretsch's"
    and would like to sell it, please let me know......
    
    
    Thanks!

    I forgot to mention that I bought this guitar in the early `80's, if
    this helps at all........
    
    Thanks, again!

2818.2The Beast?TECRUS::ROSTKeef RiffhardWed Sep 29 1993 17:185
    Sounds kind of like a solid body that Gretsch called The Beast.
    
    Not sure if it had an actual model number or just that stupid name.

2818.3Like a Les Paul, only differentTROFS::C_CONNOLLYWed Oct 06 1993 17:247
    Is this the model that had a fairly thin body, and a single cutaway 
    (with a more pointed 'horn' on it)?
    
    Let me check my old issues of 'Guitar Player' for any ads.
