Gretsch, imo makes some of the classiest looking electrics at this time. This one is certainly no exception. Great looking guitar. I have always wanted to try those pickups. Congratulations!!

"Tuxie" is a beauty, congrats! I made a couple of small changes to mine - a Melita bridge and wide Bigsby handle.

I love the way gretsch's play, even the cheapie ones are nice. I am sure this one is rad. If i ever branch out into other guitars again they are on my shortlist.
I used to be cool, now I just complain about prices.

It play like buttah!
I ran it thought my Caroline "Expensive Amplifier" OD/Distortion pedal last night and it was freaking awesome!!!
I gotta get my recording rigs set up again and do a proper, non-iPhone demo.

That’s freaking awesome. Honestly Gretschs are so great. All gretschs. Yours looks a 10/ 10.
I’m totally happy owning only fenders and Gretsch guitars. Well plus my acoustic which is an eko.
Sometimes I think I want a les Paul or an sg or a 335 but then I think “what’s the point? I already own 2 Gretschs”

I'm also in the Fender and Gretsch camp, but after owning a bunch of them, I can definitively say that Gibsons can be as different from Gretsches and Gretsches can be from Fenders.MKR wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2023 11:13 amThat’s freaking awesome.

Having said that, even among the Gibsons I own and love, it's sometimes difficult to resist the thought that they'd all sound better with Filtertrons. Because they basically would
But at that point, it wouldn't make sense to own them, because I'd just be trying to make them into something I already have. I think I spent so many formative years with just one guitar, and then with just two, that I never shook the idea that each pickup position has to be my ideal sound on each guitar. The nice thing about having multiple guitars is that I can let them each be unique, so I have an actual reason to reach for one over the others in any given situation.
I think that shift in perspective made me much more appreciative of Gibsons. That, and the discovery of Firebird pickups, which I vastly prefer to PAFs.

I played a variant of this today in a shop and was pretty blown away by it. It had a standard TOM. The Bigsby felt great, and I LOVED the pickups.
If not for it being a little narrower at the nut than I like I’d probably be scheming to unload some stuff right now.
