There are jobs which simply aren't enjoyable enough to maintain longer than necessary. And there are jobs that can be performed, and enjoyed, as long as one is alive and reasonably mentally competent. I suspect that most of us have had jobs in the former categories. One has to be very lucky to have one in the latter.

When you see Pete in his shop you realize the work keeps him young.
He’s a spitting image of Gepetto from Pinochio

> How about reviewing high level audio equipment for a living?
Given the loss of high frequency hearing that occurs with aging, that is precisely the type of job that one should retire from. They don't, though. I am guessing that lots of influential reviewers are baby boomers who can't hear above 5000 hz but claim to hear profound differences in $$$$ AC and RCA cables.

I used to own the late 1950s Gretsch version of that guitar. Gretsch naming was chaotic in those days, but the 17 inch version that I owned was usually referred to as the Fleetwood, with the 18 inch model named Eldorado (Freddy Green played a noncut Eldorado).
It was priced and marketed as the Gretsch version of an L5CT. Like yours, mine had the elegant stairstep bridge and regular F holes, not cat's eye. It had a G cutout bridge, though. Rare guitar.

I've had mine since 2011. It's a great axe and sounds great with the DeArmond Rhythm Chief on it.

Writing audio articles doesn’t pay much, unless one counts the free use of audio gear as payment. Besides, the industry is overwhelmed with writers. Everyone on the internet is an expert. And folks disagree with Stereophile magazine who by the way only seems to endorse ultra expensive high $ gear that most people can’t afford. Besides, who wants an amplifier that costs more than your car? I’ve seen turntables for sale that were the price of a house! Part of the audio industry has always bordered upon insanity.
