I probably should have titled this post carbon dating a gretsch uke. I just bought an old gretsch American uke, solid mahogany, no decal, Gretsch American stamp on back of the head stock and in the body with wooden tuners. From the scant information on the web -- the lack of decal on the front of the headstock and the mfg. stamp on the back puts it in the 20's to early 30's but I'm wondering if the wooden tuners provide a clue to more exact date. When did Gretsch start making ukes,-- does anyone know? TIA, g2
