i'm looking at the red one - at first it looked like a gretsch but it's not on their site, so I'm stumped.

anybody got any ideas?

It does look Gretschy. The pickups seem to be DeArmonds. Gretsch has made some obscure guitars in the past. However, I don't think it's a Gretsch. I'll post the link on the gretschpages and ask the experts.

It might be a Guild or a Dearmond - at first I thought it was a Gretsch Broadcaster, but it is too square.

I reckon Phil's right. Guild or DeArmond definitely. My money's on a Guild Starfire as I don't think any DeArmonds came with a Bigsby (although one could have been retro-fitted).

It's a Martin GT-75 from the sixties. According to a guy at the gretschpages.
