Many of you already know Joe (aka JackDaniels) is collecting and compliling vintage Gretsch serial numbers. I thought it would be a good idea to carry that thread over.
From the old board thread:
Tim and I have put together a way to share serial number research with all of you online. A good portion of my serial number data base is now located here: http://gretschpages.com/serial-numbers/chart/
Do we have your numbers yet? The only way to make this work, is for you to offer your data, as others have already. My goal is to have an entry every 100 numbers (aproximately each batch of guitars). Many areas like 58 and 59, we have many numbers for each batch, but some guitar batches are still missing.
I would like serial numbers from all Gretsch guitars from 49-64. Accoustics, Electrics, Baritones etc. All models from Burl Ives to Salvador, from Jets to Nashvilles. As long as it has the standard Gretsch label or an engraved number on the top of the headstock, we need the number!
Send me a PM or Email with your data. Serial number, Pickups, Fret markers, bridge, tail piece, color, and anything unusual. Pictures welcome, and I may ask for more data late.
