Different Synchromatic 300--one listing, one week only. Will not be relisted.

Original* pre-war Gretsch Synchromatic 300 17" archtop -- next-to-top-of-the Gretsch line (behind the 18" Synchromatic 400). Serial number in the early 300s (written in pencil inside bass soundhole). Original finish (weathered in places), Kluson double-ring tuners, catseye soundholes, stairstep bridge, lightbulb headstock, asymmetrical neck profile, 26" scale. Apparently original faux-alligator hardshell case.

Previously owned by the late collector/author Jim Fisch. Sounds and plays great. The case and bottom of the guitar show some evidence of the effects of water. Finish is a little crazed and flaky in spots, but great patina and look. Binding has a little shrinkage, but far less than most Gretsches.
Opening bid means I'll lose money. (After PayPal and eBay fees, that goes ditto for Buy It Now.) $80 Priority Mail shipping in the USA.
--

*--Possibly replaced trim on neck heel, tiny splice on fingerboard binding near nut, bass side. Some small components of the multi-piece fingerboard inlays may have been replaced. Replacement pickguard (not shown) with (original?) hardware. One Kluson tuner has more shine than the other five, but is otherwise identical.
