My new G5120

[charlyg]

I'm lovin me some Gretsch! I had never played one until the day I bought it!! Here are a few pix... Oh, I traded Big Red(maxed out Dot Studio), a VHT SPecial 6 head, and a Les Paul Custom that I got in a trade for a 2x12 DeVille. WOOT!

congrats on the GreTsch. Do you plan on the similar mods that Peter did to his G5120?

Nice, Charley! I used to have a '61 DA, another forumite owns it now.

Thanks guys!

The only mod I may do is a compensated bridge. As it is now, it gets every tone I need! It is a pleasure to pick up and play. Samick Korea has got it DOWN!! I put Chrome 12s on it, may go to 11 next set. Oh, and I always had trouble getting good harmonics on the Dot Studio, with this one it is a breeze!

I will have to go search for Peter's mods, but most seem to upgrade pups, bridge, and tuners, and then there are those that "go for the gold"......

...and he ain't partin' with it!

I have a 5120 that I love. The colour of yours is gorgeous -- I've seen a few like that around and always found them beautiful. If I was going to do it over I'd be tempted to buy one of that colour.

Congrats, Charly! I love Gretsch as well.

Put a Compton bridge in stainless on it-best 40 bucks you'll spend!

There are loads of mods you could do with that guitar. Have you thought about changing the pickups yet? I should change mine really, but I'm not still not sure what kind of sound I want.. hesitate to commit to one thing
