My brother bought a Gretsch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman last fall...and it is the single best electric guitar I've ever laid hands on. The neck plays like a dream. Effortless, and the tone is to die for...And of course, it looks like a million bucks.

My Douglas WNO-650BR may look like a Gretsch at first glance....and at $240, it was a helluva bargain....

but I guess sometimes there is a reason why expensive guitars cost so much.

But....I'm still sticking with my Douglas.

Your Douglas harkens me back to the "good old days" of rondo when we were all chasing b-stocks, AL-2000's were on sale for well under $200 on a regular basis and he had entire pages of semi-hollow's from Douglas, Agile etc. I had one of the big jazzbox Douglas' for a while, don't remember the model but it was also under $200.

Even backwards, that guitar is super cool! I've never seen a purple Gretsch before. Is that a 6120?

Thank you! I’m in a rental at the moment and close on my new house next Thursday. I’ll finally have my amp back after FOUR MONTHS. I can’t wait to hear what I’ve learned through it!

I’m also shopping for a new amp. I’m torn between -
Tone Master Deluxe Reverb
Real Deluxe Reverb
Hot Rod Deluxe

They all have huge pluses in my head.

That's sweet. What's your current amp? It seems like you have a thing for the Fender Blackface style (not that there's anything wrong with that )...
