Here is a nice 1967 Gretsch Viking in sunburst
Per GDP website:
With less flash than a Falcon and more features than a Country Club, the Viking was all set to plunder and pillage the mid-60’s marketplace. It didn’t exactly work out that way, but the Viking was still a pretty nice guitar, especially for fans of Gretsch gadgetry. The Viking was second only to the White Falcon in the 1964 Gretsch lineup. Fittings and finish on the 17-inch guitars were the best Gretsch could offer, and it came complete with a full complement of the unusual Gretsch offerings of the day, such as the “Floating Sound” unit and “T-zone tempered treble” upper frets.
SuperTron pickups were also standard on all Vikings. It was the first guitar to feature them. This guitar comes with the floating sound unit as pictured, which is usually lost over time due to string changes. Electronics and pick ups are good, and clean, and work with no issues. good action, and intonates fine, even with the floating bridge. some wear to the gold.

As you can see, the guitar is signed by Jimmy Atkins, brother to Chet Atkins and a good guitar player in his own right. It has a date in 1969, as well as a location? maybe a performance?
As with most Gretsches from that era, this guitar has some binding deterioration, mainly on the body, and some parts have flaked off a portion of the layers. it seems pretty stable though for now.
