This is a Gretsch reissue JP model that Mr. Shirai of Shirai Music supposedly bought for himself. It's a Japan-limited edition of 25 guitars. (Is that true?) It's only been used for test playing, so the parts are still original and I think the condition is good. The appearance is also, in my subjective opinion, very shiny. However, it is still a used item, and there may be some overlooked scratches, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. It will be shipped in the case shown in the photos, wrapped in bubble wrap or cardboard.
