I was checking out sales on eBay and ran across this entry. Looks like a decent deal. I don't know if anyone is interested or not, but I thought I'd post.

Thanks for watching for us, Ray. When I get another Gretsch, it will be the HOF, which is a specialized version of a 6122-1959, which fits my hands perfectly! I'm not ready now anyway. My next guitar in a few months will be one of Mel McCullough's Clawmaster. I loved playing Audie Wyklie's a couple of weeks ago!

Rande, I enjoy looking for guitars even if I'm not buying these days. in the old days, I probably would have bought this and played it awhile and then try to sell it and make a couple of hundred dollars. It sold and he took a best offer, so he didn't get what he was asking for it.
I think you'd enjoy an HOF Gretsch. It's a great guitar from all I've heard. I think there's one on eBay now for around 2K. I don't know much about the Clawmaster, but I've heard on this board that it is a great guitar, too.
I bet you two had a great time playing...you're both excellent players from what I've seen in videos.
Have a great day.

Hi Ray,
The "Clawmaster" is a duplicate of Jerry's Baldwin. The action is low and it seems to work well for the fast "banjo style" licks that Jerry uses is "Swarmin'", etc. Audie is much better at those than I am but I'm working on them. My specialty is the harmony and "exotic" jazz chords and different arrangements.
