(More customer reviews)After having just recorded with this guitar, I still can't decide if it is more beautiful to listen to or to look at... the pictures simply do not do it justice, this is an absolutely beautiful combination of super cool design and solid workmanship, but the sounds it can make are just as breath-taking. Much warmer and fuller than other Gretsch hollowbodys when playing jazz, but able to stand up and shout like a Gretsch on blues or rock when it needs to.
In one word this is a "keeper," an instant family heirloom that your grandkids some day will be inspired to learn to rock it like their old man's old man!!
(at least that is what I'm hoping for)

In celebration of the 125th anniversary of Gretsch and a legacy that has lasted five decades, the tradition of the "anniversary" model continues. To commemorate this historic event, a very special instrument was created that is sure to be an instant classic. Combining time-tested Gretsch elements from the past with new features, the 125th Anniversary model has an ultra-rare Jaguar Tan top, with metallic gold back and sides. The body is made of three-play laminated maple for the utmost resonance and tone. Two key individuals in the Gretsch story recently designed a new scalloped bracing specifically voiced for Gretsch guitars. The new "ML" bracingwhich stands for Gretsch guitar designers Masao Terada and Mike Lewismakes its debut on the 125th "Annie". This construction synchronizes the vibration of the top and back, with increased acoustical openness in tone. Accentuating the tone of the new ML bracing are a pair of TV Jones PowerTron pickups, pinned rosewood-based Adjusto-Matic bridge and a Bigsby B6C vibrato tailpiece.
