The glossy finish has various light scratches, and the binding has areas that have deteriorated as is common with Gretsch guitars of the era. The gold hardware is nicely tarnished, and there are open holes near the bridge from the removed mute mechanisms. There is a fine crack in the ebony fretboard from frets 5 to 11, which is not affecting playability, and the neck binding has areas of deterioration as well. The headstock face has light checking, and the back of the neck is smooth with a few mild patches of wear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eModifications\/Repairs: \u003c\/b\u003e-Replaced neck and master volume pots\r\n-Removed mute mechanism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSerial Number: \u003c\/b\u003e61867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTech Notes: \u003c\/b\u003eThe guitar plays well with low action, and sets up well with 10 gauge strings or heavier due to limited truss rod adjustability. The original narrow frets are low with minor play wear. The serial number and construction appointments date the guitar to 1963.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase Details: \u003c\/b\u003eOriginal Hardshell Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41103873638535,"sku":"U6030625701","price":4815.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/gretsch-electric-guitars-semi-hollow-gretsch-country-gentleman-walnut-1963-gretsch-country-gentleman-walnut-1963-u6030625701-1023006631.jpg?v=1768532985","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.mom\/en-ca\/products\/gretsch-country-gentleman-walnut-1963-2003168","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
