Gretsch Guitars

This vintage rare guitar may be one of a kind. It is in fabulous condition. It has a beautiful, near perfect, finish and a surf bright full sound that is unbelievable. It has to be from the 1950’s, 60's or 70's. The pick guard has been removed but I think it looks better without one and the screw holes are in good shape. It wows everybody. It has had a professional set up and plays fine. Case is unbelievably nice.

The label inside the F hole has an Atlas emblem and the model number AC-2, a penciled serial number, and Atlas Musical instrument 319 West John Street, Hicksville, Long Island, NY. I have seen this label on acoustics, but on nothing of this quality.

This is not a Breedlove Atlas. The flip up mute is reminiscent of the early Gretsch or pre Ventures Mosrite. I have shown this guitar to many vintage guitar professionals who are all shocked with its amazing condition and quality and have uncertain opinions as to its origin. All agree it is a unique, amazingly nice guitar from 40 to 60 years old. I doubt you will ever see another one in this shape with equally nice original case. I have too many guitars and am listing several and for the first time decided to offer this one. Bids accepted from worldwide. There is no reserve. Considering the quality and sound of this guitar, starting price is low. Buy It Now reflects what I believe is reasonable, considering its rarity and what I paid for it years ago  bidding against a guitar collector from Hawaii. There is really no way to know a market value as I’ve looked for years while researching this one and found none like it.  Shipping will be 30 dollars in the US and actual cost for international.
