First off, I've never picked up a Gretsch that I was able to bond with. Never cared for the feel of the necks. Well that has either changed, or this one was built just for me.
I've been having a lot of hand pain in my fretting hand of late. I played the Gretsch for a couple of hours with no pain what so ever. 
To be honest, I was looking for a short scale guitar to ease the hand pain. I had looked at this Gretsch a couple of weeks ago and dismissed it due to the 25.5" scale length and the fact that it has a Bigsby(I'm not a wiggle bar fan). But, it did feel good in my hands. So, I kept thinking about it. I figured it would be gone when I stopped in at the store yesterday, but there she was waiting for me to come back and claim her.
Like I said, it's not fair to post about a new gear acquisition without pictures...but, I've got to go and play that guitar right now.
). I too look forward to seeing and hearing your new toy. I think maybe we need to do a collab with all our guys new guitars? Anyone up for that?
But i love them at others hands 
But, she's right.
