{"product_id":"gretsch-southern-bell","title":"1983 Gretsch 7676 Southern Belle in Walnut","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere's a Gretsch that you don't see everyday, the Southern Belle. When Chet Atkin's left Gretsch for Gibson he took the name 'Country Gentleman' with him and left Gretsch to figure out what to do with the remaining CG bodies and parts that they had. The answer... take those US made parts and put them together in their (Baldwin owned) Mexican factory and call them something different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is in good shape with a few finish chips around the neck join (which hint at a neck reset), some stable cracks in the neck binding and what looks to be a replacement bone nut. Original Filtertron pickups and gorgeous B-12 Bigsby. The fingerboard measures to 7.25\" which is odd for a Gretsch. The deep walnut finish looks amazing with the gold hardware and you can get all the country gentleman tones with the Filtertron pickups,  without the price tag. Comes with original Gretsch hard case. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSERIAL NUMBER: 5_3019\u003cbr\u003eBODY: Laminated Maple\u003cbr\u003eCOLOUR: Walnut\u003cbr\u003eFINISH: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eNECK: Maple\u003cbr\u003eNECK SHAPE: C \u003cbr\u003eSCALE LENGTH: 25.5\" \u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD RADIUS: 7.25\" (weird for a Gretsch)\u003cbr\u003eFRETS: 22\u003cbr\u003eNUT: Bone \u003cbr\u003eNUT WIDTH: 1.73\"\u003cbr\u003eHEADSTOCK SHAPE: Gretsch\u003cbr\u003eNECK PLATE: Plastic\u003cbr\u003eNECK FINISH: Gloss\u003cbr\u003eFINGERBOARD: Ebony\u003cbr\u003ePOSITION INLAYS: Thumbnail\u003cbr\u003eBRIDGE PICKUP: Black Filtertron\u003cbr\u003eMIDDLE PICKUP: N\/A\u003cbr\u003eNECK PICKUP: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlack Filtertron\u003cbr\u003eCONTROLS: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2x Vol\/1x Master-Vol\/3-way Tone Selector\/3-way PU-Selector\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBRIDGE: Adjusto-matic\u003cbr\u003eTUNERS: Gold plated\u003cbr\u003eCONTROL KNOBS: Gold with G logo\u003cbr\u003eWEIGHT: 3.95 kg or 8.70 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gretsch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45166435598359,"sku":"GretschSouthernBell","price":1529.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/3150\/8503\/files\/Product_50055d7f-334e-488f-ae54-ae1e47c3b49e.jpg?v=1779672786","url":"https:\/\/studio1-vintage.com\/en-us\/products\/gretsch-southern-bell","provider":"Studio 1 Vintage Instruments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
