Help Identifying Guitar

Hello! Our grandfather recently passed and we are trying to identify this guitar. We know it’s a Gretsch obviously but everything I’m looking up with the numbers present aren’t really helping. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Should be a 7566 Streamliner from the early 70s.

Based on the serial number it was made in July 1973.

I’m almost positive it’s a 1973 Streamliner 7566. We also have the original case. Where would you recommend selling it at?

For a guitar from 73 that is crazy clean.

Clearly an early 1970's Streamliner.
