Gretsch guitar picture request...

Post by PorkyPrimeCut » Mon Sep 30, 2019 5:57 am

So, I'm designing a poster for a friend's album release & I'm wanting to play around with the idea of a Gretsch guitar leaning up against a country fence. I have this fence in mind...

Image

...but I need a picture of a Gretsch, preferably something Chet Atkins or Country Gent-like.

So NOT a Jet-shaped guitar & NOT anything witha Penguin-style headstock.

All I need really is a pic of someones Gretsch leaning against a wall, taken from the side so you see the guitar at an angle & from above. I've been scouring the interwebz & this forum but I can't quite get the right angle.

Thanks, in advance!

The pic needs to be in bright daylight too.

Easiest would be to make such a picture at your own.
Tho if its the bands style, they could even sell some prints on they're shows.
Same people like same stuff = $$$

Except I don't own a Gretsch guitar.

Also, they're in London & I'm in Leipzig.

I looked around Pinterest for 6120s with outdoor photo but didn’t see one from the right angle.

I saw a couple of White Falcons and a Princess though.

Unfortunately the only Gretsch I have has a “Penguin” headstock, so I can’t help you myself.

I'm glad you found one...but I had a lot of fun scouring through old gretsch guitar photos!
If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...
