How Do I Find Out The # Of Limited Edition Gretsch Guitars Made?

[Merc]

I did the same when I bought the BroadKaster at Christmas. Gretsch confirmed their were 6. Sadly...it lasted a week with me.

Wow, only six. I remember that beauty and thread. I really wish they’d do a production run G6118 in that color combo.

Their was 6 in that colour and six in shell pink but with a diff pup combo of FT/BT. The blue was two BTs.

You might get lucky putting the request through again -maybe youll get a different / more helpful CSR this time. I know that asking a different person the same question has usually worked for me in the past.

Gretsch told me that 100 metallic copper 2 tone Falcons were made.

Gretsch told me that 100 metallic copper 2 tone Falcons were made.

When I talked with them they told my 75 and 100 was a common number For these limited runs. I imagine it varies more when it’s a store spacial run.

I remember several years ago when Fender raised their FSR minimum from 25 to 300. So that's a decently low number.

Really, though, it depends on who and how many want the guitar. For instance, according to a European Gretsch rep (so we have to take this with a few grains of salt) only 50 of my preFMIC Red Sparkle G6129TR were made. But that was because no one wanted them and they didn't sell, so the number doesn't really mean much to its value.

I have a Telebration Old Growth. Fender made 1000 of these but these sell at a premium.

Wow, I thought those red sparkles were great!!

from the way they described them, they were produced as regular catalog products for a year-ish (hence the limited) rather than being a limited edition of a certain number. There's probably a better way of describing this than "limited edition"
