1950 Bacon (Gretsch) Belmont Natural, Very Good, Original Hard, $1,499.00

How cool is this one? 1950s Gretsch-made Bacon Belmont Archtop Electric! Solid carved spruce top, flamed maple back and sides. Fat maple neck also made of beautifully flamed maple and sporting a classy stinger! These DeArmond Dynasonics are some of my favorite pickups ever! Overall in very good condition less some expected finish checking, play wear and minor dings. Neck pickup was professionally rewound and an added support was added to prevent the top from sinking. The original tailpiece broke at one point, but was spot welded back together. Plays and sounds amazing, and comes complete with its original brown Lifton hard shell case!
