While CME’s vintage and used buyers never purchase an instrument they’ve deemed “unplayable,” a select handful of pieces among our vintage and used inventory continue to meet the preferred playability standards of even today’s most demanding professional musicians and instrument collectors. We call these “player-grade.” Take this player-grade 1957 @officialgretsch 6128 Duo Jet, for instance. Sure, Nathaniel can make playing just about any guitar look easy; but, do you really think he’d be able to play all but Ringo’s parts on this classic Beatles tune if this guitar wasn’t all the way up to snuff? Call CME, chat us online, or visit our Lincoln Avenue showroom to learn more about our vintage and used player-grade instrument selection! . . . . #chicagomusicexchange #GretschGuitar #Gretsch #VintageGuitar #CMEgeardemo #geardemo #NathanielMurphy #gearwire #gearybusey #CMElovestrades #GuitarDemo #VintageGuitarDemo #tonemob #knowyourtone
