1939 Gretsch Resonator Guitar.

Picture

I picked up this guitar from Neil Harpe of stellaguitars.com. Neil always has great guitars in his collection and this one immediate caught my eye. It's very similar to the Dobro Model 27 that was put out during the same time period. It has an eight leg spider resonator cone, birch front, back and sides and a very cool headstock. Everything is original on it except the cone which was recently upgraded to a Quarterman. What I love about this instrument is that it's the identical to the one Archie Edwards used to play. Take a look at the portrait that Neil did of Archie below.
