I've never even played a Gretsch guitar... I do agree that the older guitars sound and feel way better than new guitars. Sometimes I go to a rehearsal studio in town called President and all it's guitars are from the Sixties and Fifties - heavy chunky things but boy do they sound great! I'll have a better look next time and post some pics for you.
You really do sound enamoured about guitars! Good for you! They are wonderful things to have a passion about. I think one day you WILL build yourself a guitar - as a start - hahaha
