I miss my Gretsch Bo Diddley...

...so I put in a lowball offer on one that's been on Reverb for a few months. It will probably get rejected and that's probably for the best, but that was a cool guitar and I regret selling mine.

I don't regret many sales - I can think of only a few (Lindert prototype T-style is the biggest one that I let go, and I miss my Gretsch Tennessee Rose too). But this would be a cool guitar to play live and I miss how funky and weird it was.

We'll see.

It's that awesome upper fret access isn't it? If you're talking about this one:

So much for thinking outside the box.

Is that supposed to be a thumbs up smilie?

 

[BlockInlay]

just take a guitar you own now and fit a pizza box around the body. Bo knows instant Bo guitar.

Or a Lindert headstock.

Offer declined. That's the end of that.

Welp I found a brand new one on Reverb on clearance, and there was a Reverb 15% off coupon on top of it, so I couldn't resist. This is one of those three payday months... Woo!

Nope, they're one-offs made for Bo Diddley by Gretsch. The present day Gretsch Billy Bo Jupiter Thunderbird is based upon them. F.Y.I. - the other guitar player is Bo's sister Dutchess.

Congrats! Bo Diddley's are cool guitars IMO. I have low level GAS for one.

Thanks! I don't miss many guitars I get rid of, but I missed this one. I think it will look great on stage, and they actually sound really good.
