brentrocks Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 The end of an era....the last Gerry Gessie "LITTLE ONE" that rolled out of Parsons St. I was very surprised when I opened the case....I didn't know that it was a solid maple body with a 3 piece flamed neck?????!!!!!! A stunning trans cherry finsh! HRWs, rosewood board with traps, push/pull coil taps, Schaller roller bridge and a Schaller (TP6 copy fine tune tailpiece)
gpuma Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Very nice! Do you know approx how many H133 Little One were made in total?
Gitfiddler Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 That is such a cool piece!!!! Brent, I officially hate you! OK, not really!! Enjoy!
brentrocks Posted June 12, 2013 Author Posted June 12, 2013 Very nice! Do you know approx how many H133 Little One were made in total? 38. This one is 38 and it was told by Jim Derleu that this was the last one ever made.
gpuma Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 38. This one is 38 and it was told by Jim Derleu that this was the last one ever made. I think mine is #33. They are really cool guitars. The only thing I don't love about them is that they are difficult to play while sitting (i.e. without a strap). I'll bring mine at PSP
koula901 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 You're kidding! They're not making them anymore! Imagine what that does to the price of any LEFTY G Gessie that's out there in the world! It's going to be ridiculous. Anyway . . . I'm happy for your snag, Brent - that is once nice guitar!
Steiner Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Beautiful. I never would have guessed that guitar looked so good; especially with the seller's photos. Nice shootin' Tex.
JackBaruth Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Hmm. When you're ready to sell, I might have something interesting to trade. I didn't mess with it because I already have a Little One and figured it was more of the same.
tulk1 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Those are such a strange little guitar. Weren't most of them the composite material? That one is very interesting with the flame maple.
DetroitBlues Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 That looks better than I thought it would! Congrats Brent! I hope you have it at PSP. I've always wanted to take one for a spin.
