THE GRETSCH
The guitar has had the tuning pegs replaced, although quite a good job has been done in doing so.  It plays well, and has that great 'Gretsch' sound
There is a 'damper' for the strings, although the rubber has perished and would need replaced in the unlikely event that it was to be used
Anything else wrong with the guitar is largely cosmetic
circa 1962
Chet Atkins Gretsch
