No advice to offer but bigups on your choice. I've been umming and aahing for years about picking one of those up. Beautiful looking things.
ReekBlefs-
Thanks! I've now snookered myself into a corner where I just can't decide if the Danelectro or the Gretsch is the better choice for me? I like the looks of both and the price difference is fairly negligible so it's coming down to sound and playability and I can't try out either one...
Someone decide for me please :(

So... after much dawdling I've decided to finally bite the bullet and buy a baritone.
I had done the deal on an S-Works Allez frameset and the fecker sold it to one of his club pals before I could collect it so rather than starting another build I've decided to redirect that moolah into music kit.
Gretsch G5265 is the likely choice at the moment.
Danelectro '56 is also a contender although I feel like the Gretsch might have a bit more clarity...
Any other considerations I'm not thinking of? Really really keen on Supro Hampton baritone but I'm concerned the short scale length won't be what I want...
