Gretsch "Beast" 8217

by Alan Johnson
(Pennsylvania)


Don't know much about this guitar, Made in USA, 2-PU, Serial#: 9-0278. Any thought on value?

Hi, Alan--

Here is all of the info from the Blue Book:

BST-1000/BST-1500 Double Humbucker Model 7617/8211/8215/8217
- similar to the BST-1000, except has two humbucker pickups, and a three-way pickup selector switch, available in Brown (Model 7617/8215/8217) or Red (Model 8211) finish, mfg. 1979-1981.


Mint $550

Lynne
The same model designation (BST-1000) was used on the two pickup version as well as the single pickup model. In 1981, some models were numbered BST-1500 (Model 8217).

starstarstarstarstar 		Gretsch Beast for Sale
by: John

I just came across one of these in a music store in St. Augustine. Florida. They are asking $495 for it with the case.

This was my first guitar, and I still have mine. I haven't used it in years though. Mostly into Strats and acoustic now. I can't wait to plug it in again though!

If you're interested in the one for sale, contact Grampa's Music at (904) 819-5797. They had it as of 1/21/10. Good luck!

by: Ren

I purchased this guitar from a young man needing $$$. I love it. The design is so simple but the sound and the action are fabulous. Mine is equiped with the double humbuckers

starstarstarstarstar 		$500 mint?
by: David Cheney

I have a 8217 serial No. 10-0224, and I am rebuilding. This has to be a very rare guitar, and it a beauty to play, I find it hard to believe that a mint version would only bring $500?
