Gretsch guitars: 6003 Jimmie Rodgers Folk
<p>Probably the single most distinguishing characteristic of the 6003 is the sheer number of names the same guitar was given. 6003 nomenclature seemed to change according to the prevailing winds, who you asked and the phases of the moon.
</p>
<p>Among the various names given the flattop:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Jimmie Rodgers
</li>
<li>
Grand Concert
</li>
<li>
Jimmie Rodgers Folk Singing
</li>
<li>
Folk Singer
</li>
<li>
and just plain Folk
</li>
</ul>
<p>Whatever it was called, the 6003 was a mainstay of the Gretsch line for years and quietly sold quite a few copies. As a guitar, it was what it was... a fair to middling Martin copy with a solid spruce top and mahogany sides.
</p>
<p>While it was never a great guitar, it was always a good value, under any name.
