No stranger than switching from guitar to piano.

IMO any sort of scratch and dent guitar is best chosen with an opportunity to try it out in person. Then you can get a visceral feeling for how much you love the guitar vs how much of a letdown the cosmetic issues are, including the fact that it's stamped DEMO on the headstock.

This is one of my favorites of his. I agree it's Beatlesesque. To my ear it sounds in the vein of a McCartney composition, with the strong quarter note emphasis on the piano. I love the bass on it too, and I suppose that's ES himself on the bass. And yet for all the Beatles qualities of the...

George Harrison and Dave Rawlings used capos so if you're a dirty, low-down capo user you're in good company.

Not my pic but I have a gold sparkle Duo Jet just like this one, and it looks the same in person. The Gretsch gold sparkle has a hint of orange to it compared to Gibson goldtop Les Pauls or Fender shoreline gold.
