Gretsch PX-6187 Clipper Arch Top Hollow Body Electric Guitar (1957)Gretsch PX-6187 Clipper Model Arch Top Hollow Body Electric Guitar (1957), made in Brooklyn, NY, serial # 22985, Lotus Ivory top, Metallic Grey back and sides finish, laminated maple body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, original grey hard shell case.
This is a stunningly well preserved example of a lovely and rare Gretsch, the 1957 Model PX-6187 Clipper. This was not a high end instrument, but right at this moment in Gretsch history was briefly offered in this format with a particularly attractive combination of features. Earlier Clippers had been non-cutaway guitars, and by 1959 the model was re-cast as a thinline budget guitar with lesser grade electronics. The 1957-8 Clipper was offered in two finishes, a standard sunburst (as the PX-6186) and this much more striking solid color rendition as the PX-6187, the much scarcer version.
Evolution of the Rolex Submariner: The ref. 6204 Say dive watch, think Rolex Submariner. The word association has been inescapable since the 1950s, the fabled timepiece—from a manufacture not short on icons—introduced to coincide with the explosion in popularity of the new sport of Scuba diving. It may not technically have been the first of the breed (we can look to Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms for that) but it is undoubtedly the one which has gone on to define the genre and influence just about everything that followed.
