John you need to try a "mint green" guard on that sonic blue. I had one like it and it really brought out the "vintage" vibe with the blue.

Wow, Gary, lucky you! I love your 335, always liked the breadwinners, and the sitar is very intriguing. I take it those are three pickups for the internal sympathetic strings?

I put one on, but actually liked the white better! Not sure why. I was sure I'd love the mint green.

The third pickup is under the "sympathetic strings" ... which aren't actually sympathetic as on a real sitar because they are not connected to the bridge of the regular strings. Takes a bit of coordination to strum those and play the other strings at the same time ... :)

Oh, I see, the sympathetic strings outside and on the face, that's a pickup, bridge and tuners. Cool, and I love the finish!

Gary, that guitar is BEAUTIFUL.

I'd love to find one just like it.

I like some of those PBC/Bunker basses Gary. I almost bought a PBC back in '93 or '94 from the factory in Coopersburg PA.

Thanks guys ,i like cowboy guitars :D

I've had all the others too, Les Pauls, Strats, Teles ect...
Pics for another day...

But i've just kept my Rickenbackers and Gretsches
as they're the ones i get the biggest kick out of owning and playing.

Shouldn't have sold my 330 and 325v59 though, i'm still hurtin over them two.

Nearly bought a Strat last week though,i havn't had one for about 5 years.

Beautiful Gretsches! Someday I'll have to get a shot of my uncle's '59-'61 (not sure of the exact year) 6120...it's got the best wood grain I've ever seen on a Gretsch. Nice and flamey.
