NAMM 2014: Gretsch Custom Shop stand in pictures

NAMM 2014: There are pretty guitars, and then there are Gretsch guitars.

George Harrison used them for a reason you know - they look and sound like nothing else. The Gretsch Custom Shop was out in force at NAMM, and we had a look round its stand to see what was rocking.

Needless to say, we were impressed...
