Description

Here is an extremely clean example of the Gretsch 7685 "Atkins Axe" from 1978. Similar to the super axe of the same period, this guitar drops the built in effects, leaving a workhorse humbucker guitar. With replaced Lindy Fralin Humbuckers, and a new set of tuners, this guitar is ready for the next stage of its life. Comes with the OHSC, as well as a modern Gator HSC.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
