Re: Gretsch guitar. Burl Ives model

: : I recently got one (burl ives jr.) on ebay. the Gretsch Book says it sold in the early 1950's for $52. hard to say what it's worth, but the neck is rosewood, top and back mahogany- it was a copy of the martin 000 series. i'm getting the neck set, action is really high, but this little guitar is LOUD. and quite nice looking
: Mother-in-law has serial #9450, 1952-55 Miracle Neck. Please email me with current worth fahy@vnet.net Thank you.
I found a burl ives miracle neck near branson , mo. the guitar is in excellent condition. someone put shaller tuning keys on it,but original keys were in the case as well.the action is actually pretty good. I talked to a friend who is into vintage instruments and he told me it was worth about 850 this was about 2 years ago it was in a pawn shop and I got it for alot less than that.
