Only one tiny thing, I feel matching short plate Bigsbys would look better.
I'm not a massive fan of the silver sparkle either its a bit Joe Perry circa "Dude looks like a lady" but apart from that a pretty stunning instrument!
sparkle finish looks to me more french local ball orchestra in the early 80s than glam rock - glam rock I have no problem with, as long as they are busy with music and not just looks!
I've seen this guitar in the flesh and it is very nice indeed. I quite fancied getting one myself, but I'm sure I would have regretted it. Doublenecks always lok impressive but they are much too cumbersome.
Haven't I blogged about this before? Perhaps it was just a passing mention.
But isn't it a discontinued model? Or has it been re-continuted?
They are mainly cumbersome bcz they set the necks parallel, Moserite had this sorted out back in the 60's!

thanks Andy, my first idea was to post about the Mosrite - indeed much better with divergent necks - but couldn't find a good picture of it - I might use yours for the next post!
The double-neck is on the Gretsch website so I supposed it's recontinued!
As much as I fancy sparkle finish (I don't own any sparkle guitar), as much as I like Crashocaster/Splattercaster (I'd love to have one), I totally agree with you that the new Gretsch Pin-stripes are crap.
I was considering buying a skin from http://www.axewraps.com/ for my Stratocaster 56 Reissue... Relic is just Soooo 2007. Just kidding.
The matching Bigsby plates would make it a bit cleaner, but aside from that, I really like it.
Couldn't play it well enough to do it justice, but it would look nice on the stand...
Cool d-neck. Never saw one like that before. A very good find. If Liberace had been a guitar player, he would have loved the sparkle finish!
