Gretsch BST-1000, made in USA 1979. This is a quirky little piece of Gretsch history. The BST series was nicknamed 'The Beast'; they were made from 1979-1981 as a brief foray into simpler, shred-friendly solid body models.
This has 24 frets, a thin, flat neck with jumbo frets and a great little bolt-on neck with superb access to upper frets. The solid mahogany body is lightweight and is a cross between a Les Paul and a Tele? It's a very playable guitar; it's surprisingly intuitive and conducive to playing big, fast lead parts.
Everything is original except for the bridge pickup and the saddles. The bridge pickup was replaced with an old Ibanez "Super 70". This is a very cool, hard to find pickup. The saddles were replaced with Graphtech saddles and the original saddles are included in the case.
Included is a Gator Transit GT-ELECTRIC case.
The moderate-output humbuckers dish out a crunchy, spicy tone with a great snappy attack and a heap of natural bass; this is an excellent rock-machine. This is about as un-Gretsch as a Gretsch gets, but it somehow still makes sense as a standalone model. If you're a beauty, perhaps this is your 'beast'?
Model: Gretsch BST-1000 'Beast' Model 8210
Finish: mahogany finish
Body: solid mahogany
Neck: laminated maple, rosewood board, 24.75" scale, 24 frets
Cosmetic condition notes: has some finish wear. There's some scratches on the body, The sides have some minor scuffs, The back has a lot of very light 'buckle rash' scratches; they're quite widespread but pretty inconsequential. Overall: good condition (6/10)
Playing condition notes: Neck is straight, action is low, intonation is good, truss rod works. All electrics tested and working properly.
