I think most Gretsches are hollow but with bracing.

Even the ones with painted on F holes?  I remember the first time I saw a 'Chet Atkins'...about 50 years ago.  Put me off the brand for life.

Mark would probably give his usual vaseline recommendation before you do anything with that end pin.

My EB-1 has three different endpins, (one being a screw in Schaller Strap Lock Stud). Does he recommend Vaseline each time? or only the first two??  :P :-*

Wait long enough and it will happen here.

In the meantime I will order some Ivanka T. dresses in unadulterated support of the new, skillfully prudent Admin. Everything is connected and every little bit helps; it is true, very, very true.

Mine has painted f holes and is completely Hollow.

What put you off, the size or the build quality?
