1960s Gretsch Astrojet USA Electric Guitar + CASE Refin RARE

1960s Gretsch Astrojet Solid body electric guitar.

As you can see from the pictures the guitar has been refinished in what looks like British racing green , must have  been done a while ago as it has started to craze .

the knobs and tailpiece are not original . 

The guitar has suffered a headstock repair  ,  structally sound with no movement but the " stinger " spray job is not the best,

Electrically it all works as it should, the switches are quite stiff but do work, the pickups read around 4k which seem common on these older Gretsch guitars.

 The bridge pickup is quieter than the neck due to being lower, I was going to add a spacer rather than lowering the neck pickup to match but will leave it to the new owner to decide.

These are really hard to come especially on these shores, it is one of the guitars which I am not too fussed if it sells.

Comes with a hard case not too sure if it is original to the guitar ( has additional padding inside ) but is period correct , it looks as though the original Gretsch tag from the guitar has been put on the case.

The body has taken a few knocks and general playing marks but all in keeping with the age and look of the guitar.
