Also who doesn't love a band that has been playing with the exact same gear since 1990?

Looks like it may be a Country Gentleman, but I'm no Gretsch expert. :idk:

haha I was surprised actually, there isn't much info about their gear online. Premier guitar needs to get on that.

That sounds right to me. Gretsch has so many models now I can't imagine there were that many in the late 1980s? but I have no idea.

The problem with Gretsch guitars, for me, is that even within the same model features change over time.

I think they've even used the same model numbers for totally different guitars. :whoa:

If that's the case, more likely a Tennessean. :idk:
