Thrift Store Find
A guy at work came into my office and said “There is a guitar like yours in a thrift store near my house”. When I asked him about details all he could tell me is “I think it has the same same name and style as your orange guitar”. So I went over there at lunch and found it.
I talked them down to $75. It’s a 1947 Gretsch New Yorker. Groovy!
This stuff has been in my head for years. Now you can share my suffering...

Thrift Store, not Pawn Shop. I figure someone donated it to them and they had no idea what it was.
It plays “OK”, action is a little high per the era…

Wow what a find. It’s mostly crap but occasionally you find something cool like this.

Very nice! I hope it plays as good as it looks?
