Vintage Gretsch Streamliner (year 1956)

Honza Stehlik performing The World Is Waiting For Sunrise song, a guitar cover composed by Carl Perkins for fingers and guitar only. The sound on the record goes through home made valve combo amp, wired and equiped like Fender Tremolux vintage head. Amp made by the Honza Stehlik (the guitarist on the video himself in his fitting-room). The guitar is made in year 1956. There is no trestle bracing under the bridge and has same body as Gretsch 6120 from this period (1956 - 1957). It means Gretsch 6120 with DeArmond pickups. The Streamliner has only one DeArmond (ma favourite vintage pickup probably). It is much mor trebly pickup than Filtertrons. Sound of bass strings is simply amazing, see Duanne Eddy's Gretsch with these pickups here: youtube.com/watch?v=n3HFlLGV58Q same pickups has Duanne Eddy on his Guild guitar: youtube.com/watch?v=n3HFlLGV58Q

It was actually written in 1918, just after WWI, by Gene Lockhart and composed by Ernest Seitz (apparently he came up with the refrain when he was 12), and it was then covered by over 100 artists, notably Les Paul and Carl Perkins in his 1985 rockabilly special. While CP covered it, he did not write it.
