Not a real Gretsch, but close enough.

My last 3 guitars (and 2 in process) all have DOC on the headstock. Guess that won’t Gretsch me any points

Bachman has collected many diverse and interesting guitars, and he is considered one of the foremost collectors of Gretsch and Hoyer guitars.


Currently his collection of approximately 375 Gretsch instruments is housed at the Gretsch Museum in Savannah, Georgia in the United States. It was purchased by the Gretsch Compan

Not sure your point Rob.... but all brands can be broken if mistreated. Some may be more susceptible than others.... but all can be broken. Seems you're currently repairing a break on a Hagstrom bass and a bass is going to have a pretty beefy neck/headstock. From comments on ETSG, seems SG's are notorious for breaking the headstock. Especially when they get dropped. Fall over. Or the guy walks into a wall while playing.

Exactly. The headstock broke on my 1974 SG...and it even has the volute which was supposed to alleviate such occurrences.

I don't usually gig with my Gretsch, but here's a shot last summer where I let it come out and have some fun.
