Randy Parsons is a Seattle luthier who has made guitars for Jack White, Jimmy Page, Sammy Hagar, Peter Frampton, Joe Perry, and numerous other guitarists. Parsons has been making Gretsch-esque guitars
...
for famous musicians for a few year now. That's in addition to the one-of-a-kind instruments he has built his reputation on. These "Gretsch" guitars were not commisioned by Gretsch, but that's changed. Gretsch called Parsons and said, "Hey, why don't you design a guitar for us."
Here's the story, in a two minute film shot by me and Tim Batzel. Most of the filming was done with a Canon T2i and a Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens. The scenes were lit with a single softbox, and whatever available light was in the guitar shop. ISO 400, 50th/sec shutter speed. No color correction or grading.
