Members chrisjnyc Posted September 10, 2012 Members Share Posted September 10, 2012 Anyone know some 1960's semi or hollow body electrics that are 24.75 scale? I know Gibson and Gretsch are... what else is out there? Are the old Hagrstoms 24.75 scale? Did Vox ever make make a short scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blackface Posted September 11, 2012 Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 Why does it have to be from the 60's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted September 11, 2012 Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 Why does it have to be from the 60's? I was wondering the same thing. Especially if talking Gretsc. Modern gretsches are pretty much the best Gretsch guitars out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chrisjnyc Posted September 11, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 11, 2012 They made good and bad guitars in every decade. Yea, ownhave owned a bunch.... 2 from the 70's, 4 from the 80's and 5-6 from the 90's.... Some better than others. I know a lot of people like the 80's Japanese guitars, but I haven't played one I like. I am sure there are some great finds out there, but I would rather just look for a 60's built guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flogger59 Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 Protip: 60's ES345s and 355s go for far, far less than a 335. If you can dig the skinny necks, look for a post 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modern gretsches are pretty much the best Gretsch guitars out there. right, well, the 6000 series at least. they are made in japan by custom shop level luthiers. the 5000 series are made in china and, well..... while not too bad aren't nearly the quality of the japanese Gretsches. I just got a 6120, and it's out of this world. I haven't picked up my 335 since I had a guild starfire 4 and we didnt bond. I traded it for a 72 tele deluxe, and glad i did. more pics? here ya go the 6120 my 1969 ES335TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HanSolo Posted September 13, 2012 Members Share Posted September 13, 2012 If you're talking a Gibson or Guild, I get it. If you're talking USA Gretsch (really fragile) or those whacko Japanese made models, I don't see the fascination. They're just really bad, old guitars. The new Terada-made Gretches are really nice and the lowliest current Ibanez Artcores are better guitars than those 60's Japanese hollowbodies.
