Proteus,
Would you please check the top bracing on those those G400's? Parallel bars or X bracing?
My G400CV has parallel bars, but have heard that the acoustic versions use X bracing.
Thanks, Lee

I've been wondering about that myself. Is it a tone bar similar to a Stromberg??? -

Congratulations Pappy!
Mark, I'll send you a consulation prize! Can GDP member's have giveaways too? lol
Actually, you both forgot the sperzel locking tuners, but I'll still hook you guys up. I was really joking, but you all are my friends! I don't have enough T-Shirts left to give one to everyone or I would.

Those Synchromatic's sound like real swing guitars from the 30's and 40's. Proteus, your playing could have been straight off of the Swing Kids soundtrack! If anyone hasn't heard that soundtrack, you should!
Proteus, can you play "Shout and Feel It"???

What's the oldest set of strings you have on any of your guitars?

OK, I thought of one. How long have I been playing guitar? Attentive members may remember. Free spring offer only good in the U.S. and Canada.

You were in High School when I first installed them. No kidding, on my 8-string lap steel, which has no contact with skin oils and which I seldom play. -

33 years. The oldest set of strings on my guitars is maybe a month tops. I change them like I change the oil in my car "At regular intervals".

Proteus: reading the description of the ML bracing on the annie, is this Gretsch's newer way to substitute trestle bracing? It sounds like they're both going for similar goals to make the top and back vibrate the same. Is this lighter than trestle bracing? Inquiring minds and a potential winner surely would like to know.

46 years? You said you were an avid player at 16, and you're now in your 50's so you started at 10 maybe?
