Rebel Flag Belt Buckles

http://www.frettedamericana.com/details.php?id=924&counter=0
This very early and totally original custom color Jaguar with matching headstock weighs just 8.00 lbs. Two Strat-like pickups. Solid alder body, one-piece maple neck with a medium-to-thin profile and a veneer rosewood fretboard with clay dot position markers. The neck is stamped “1 SEP 62B.” Two white oblong Strat-like pickups with notched metal side plates and outputs of 7.85k and 6.64k. Four-layer tortoiseshell over white, black & white plastic pickguard with ten screws. Jazzmaster-type floating tremolo and bridge with adjustable mute. This guitar is in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition, with minimal belt buckle scarring on the back, some light finish checking and a few very small chips or marks on the edges. A fabulous example. Housed in a later Fender G & L black hardshell case with black plush lining.

Inlaid mother-of-pearl Gretsch “T-roof” logo and two layer (black on white) dome shaped plastic truss-rod cover with three screws.

Two DeArmond (Gretsch Dynasonic) pickups, the neck pickup with an output of 10.25k. and the bridge pickup with an output of 10.20k. Gold Lucite pickguard with pantograph-engraved Gretsch “T-roof” logo and “Chet Atkins” signature framed in a signpost (the signpost and signature highlighted in black). Three volume controls (one for each pickup plus master volume control), one tone control, and one (pickup) selector switch. Gold-plated “Arrow-through-G” knobs with cross-hatch pattern on sides.
