  • Is this a Gretsch guitar

    This is Paul Yandell playing with the
    Louvin Brothers, he appears about the middle of this video.
    Anybody know what type of guitar and pickup he`s using.
    What a great act those two guys were, they don`t make them like that anymore.
    Ricky Scaggs put me off Bluegrass until i heard them.

    Looks like a Chet Atkins Country Gentleman.

    It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure. — Albert Einstein

      Lots of photos but nothing exactly like that (that I could see).

      Bet he wishes he still had it.

      P.S. yes it's a Gretsch, it's written on the scratchplate

        Thanks lads, it looked familiar, i played rhythm backing to a good friend who had one of these back in the early sixties.
