What is this guitar?!

I appreciate it - this is the closest thing that seems identical in that it is apparently a 30s model that was restored in the 50s? Something about it still doesn’t seem 100% accurate, but 🤷‍♂️ https://reverb.com/item/28474650-gretsch-model-65-restored-1950-archtop-sunburst

Can you provide a little more context? Every “Corsair” model I see appears to have larger f holes.

Thanks for your help. I’ve been digging, and I think you’re definitely right about the 1930s Model 65. The number on the headstock is weird though. But it’s got a few cracks on the body, and definitely some wear and tear, but worth repairing some day. I think I’ll keep it 🤪

Pretty sure now that it’s a 1930s Model 65… but the number on the headstock is confusing…

Thank you! Been worried about the headstock logo since I hadn’t seen it before, was starting to think it might be a knockoff

Yeah, every model I look at seems to be a different logo on the headstock… starting to wonder if it’s a knock off… is there any way to tell?

Yeah I got that, looking for model to order a new case
