I know absolutely nothing about this – but my “knotty pine” search on ebay turned up this knotty pine round up (as in cowboys rounding up cattle…) Gretsch guitar today. I like it!

Here is the ebay pitch: Honestly, I cannot quite discern from it, whether this is a 50s original, or a reproduction being made today … Click thru for description –>

Here is an awesome one. I rarely get guitars this cool in. A Limited Edition Gretsch Knotty Pine Roundup G6130. Made in Japan. Comes with all of it’s goodies, certificate, etc… ONLY 75 made!

It has only been out of its case once, and that was for pics. It’s mint. We are not going to be giving it a set up. I pulled it out for pics and then packaged it right back up. It’s all on the owner to do that. Comes with that beautious and expensive White Leather Gretsch hardshell too. An unbeatable guitar….

“As rare as they come! Back in the mid 1950’s the folks at the Gretsch factory thought it would be a great idea to utilize the unique visual characteristics of knotty pine wood on a guitar. And if that wasn’t enough, they fused an actual ‘western’ belt buckle to the tailpiece for additional cowboy mojo. These rare original 6130 Knotty Pine guitars built during the Gretsch Brooklyn, New York era fetch major dollars on today’s vintage market. Now offered for the first time in limited quantities in over 50 years is the G6130 Knotty Pine Roundup! You’ll want to holler, “Yee-haa! Gitty-up!” when you gaze upon the arched book-matched knotty pine top with engraved ‘G’ brand western leather bound body, graced with the infamous western buckle tailpiece and steer head pickguard. You may even start wearing spurs when you see the detail of the cacti, fences and steer heads engraved on the block pearloid fretboard inlays and steer head on the headstock. Like the originals, “That Great Gretsch Sound” is produced by the combination of DynaSonic pickups and a Synchro-Sonic bridge floating on a one piece chambered mahogany body.”
