I asked him "what's Cousin Ernie's story?" and he told me to sit down. That's a good sign. He said that Mac Yasuda, the famous collector of vintage guitars, had once bought Cousin Ernie for $28,000, but Gretsch wouldn't authenticate that they had made the guitar in-house, so Mac fallout hadn't taken delivery. As for the red button, he swore that it was stock. There was, he said, a picture fallout in some book somewhere of some famous guy with a stock Gretsch Anniversary with that same button. There is a group of guitar enthusiasts who complain that the Japanese are ruining the world buying up all the "real guitars." It's generally thought that the guitars sit around, collected but unplayed. I have come to believe these enthusiasts are complaining about Mac Yasuda. |

However, there was so much uncertain about it, it was universally known and despised by Gretsch collectors, so I got it for a steal. For new mexico one thing, it looks just like a "White Falcon," but it's finish was an outrageous gold sparkle. For another thing, there was a little red new mexico button next to the other switches. The button did nothing and shouldn't have been there, and the new mexico purists didn't like that. What's more, "Cousin Ernie" is the stage name that Tennessee Ernie Ford used on the I Love Lucy show. Nobody has ever shown me pictures of Ford with this guitar, but, in the unofficial opinion of Teisco Del Rey, the great expert on weird guitars, it's too weird not to be real. Who would paint "Cousin Ernie" on a perfectly good instrument if it weren't for Cousin Ernie? I mean, who would bother to forge something that stupid? |
