Gretsch Northern California/Nevad Roundup

Postby Sarah93003 » Thu Sep 17, 2009 4:30 pm

Last weekend I attended Gretsch's NorCal Roundup and had a blast. A lot of people tried out my Celebrity and were very impressed with it. I even ran across another Mosrite owner. I tried to get Fred Gretsch to pose with my Celebrity for a picture but he wouldn't do it. :mrgreen: I tried! I thought it would be cool. He did sign the pickguard on my Annie, along with Joe Carducci and Kim Falcon. I'm tickled with that!

I went last year, and also brought along a Mosrite! I'm so bummed I couldn't make it this time, we had a previous commitment. Hopefully it'll happen again next year.

If it's the person I think it is he is a member here, but has only posted once to introduce himself.

Hey Fritz the Cat,

that's cool that it was you that went last year. What did you take? Dr. Gretsch (Geoff) is the one I was talking to. Is he a member here? I think he said he has three of them and one Celebrity just like mine.

Here is the gang from this year. I'm the blonde on the right with the Bamboo Yellow Gretsch Annie. We had three of us from our group, "The White Falcon Band", me, our Lead Guitar, and our Bass player.

Cool shot, Sarah. Is your bandmate the lady holding the White Falcon?

Yep, Geoff is a member here but only posted once when the forum first started. He's the grey haired dude standing on the left side of the photo holding the White Falcon. search.php?author_id=76&sr=posts

That's right! His name is Geoff E. Stich, who was playing all those wild finished Mosrites on youtube.... ;)

Excellent Ventures copy. If I go next year I'll bring my Joe Maphis, assuming I can get a new neck for it.
