Steve's latest Gretsch Guitar or 'Lady Day' as he calls it, was a stock factory special run for the Asian market. A G6128T solid body Duo Jet.
It normally had a chambered mahogany back with a 3 ply maple top. But, this guitar is a non chambered version with a maple 'slab' top.
It was originally black but was re finished with Steve's choice of color (Midnight Blue) by Curt Wilson @Old School Guitars for Gretsch. Curt also replaced the stock frets with stainless steel frets plus he fitted Custom Shop Seymour Duncan Pickups. They look gold in this photo but they are in fact Chrome.

Watch Steve giving 'Lady Day' her first outing on Tommy Henriksen's new album 'Tommy Tommy Tommy' 2015
