Incoming Twins

[MartyGrass]

These are not quite identical twins and are old-school H-555s.  One of them was made for Vince Lewis.  That one I once owned and can tell you it plays perfectly.  I'm told the other one is about the same.

I'm trading one of my Heritage ghost built Gretsch Synchromatics plus some dough for these two with a long-standing friend and trading partner.

Heritage wasn't run as tightly back in the days these were made, but the Vince one is perfect.  I believe the other one is as well based on my friend's experience.  The Vince build has Schallers, which I wouldn't change.  The other one is stated to have HRWs, but I'm not sure.

I recently got a newer build H-535 that has PRS pickups.  It is extremely nice.  I like the general formal of the semi-hollow.

Those are gorgeous!   I always loved the semis in Natural,  second only to the classic red.   

It's interesting to see the difference in the cap on the heals of each.
