Up for sale is a rare Gretsch Americana Series "The Showdown" 3/4-size acoustic parlor guitar, complete with its original illustrated collector's box. Released as a limited run around 2007, these guitars feature fantastic mid-century cowboy comic-book-style graphics and have become highly sought-after collector's items.
Condition DetailS
• Graphics & Body: The iconic "The Showdown" graphic on the front is bright, bold, and in beautiful condition.
• Cosmetic Flaw: There is a minor surface nick/scrape on the upper edge binding of the guitar body (as shown closely in the photos). It is purely cosmetic, does not affect the main artwork, and the wood remains structurally solid.
• Bridge & Playability: The bridge is secure, and the guitar plays exactly as it should.
• Original Box: Included is the original cardboard display box featuring great vintage-style artwork.
The box is intact with strong structural integrity and clean graphics, making it perfect for display.
This is a wonderful piece of Gretsch history, perfect for a collector, a unique wall-hanger, or a fun campfire strummer.
Please review all photos carefully to see the exact condition of the guitar and the box. Will be packed securely for shipping. Feel free to message me with any questions!
