Nice axe, looks like a keeper alright.

For the future, to post a picture, visit the site and right click the image --> properties. When it pops up, you'll see a part that says "Location" or something similar. Copy the URL beside it (in this case, http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o265/jimmypeters2007/scan.jpg)... now put it in the middle of image tags... they look like

So the final product will look like (take out the XXX at the beginning):

Without the XXX:

Very nice guitar. I have been wanting a black 57 reissue for a while now. Does anybody have any feedback for the reissues or any experience with one? How close are they tonewise and how do they compare with their playability?

Drool

playability --NO compitition--action 1/64 in top to bottem-no string buzz
tone--gretsch all the way--soft as a babys bum--or it will take your ears out..

this is making me want to add a gretsch to the heard even more.. the new stuff seems to be well made for the most part.. something with vintage mojo like this would be sweet though
