Great looking guitar...quite striking in that black.stringman wrote:Back in 1992 just before fender bought gretsch I saw this model and was impressed. Tried out the guitar at a local music store and it sounded good not great. But it had the appointments that I liked. The block inlays wihout the western motifs. Black finish copy of a 1955 gretsch. What I already had in mind to do to it was to use 2 supertrons from tv jones and make up a custom harness for it adding another tone switch to the 1955 setup. I added the jeweled arrow knobs, it already came with a cool roller abr bridge that works great with the bigsby. After installing all the components this gretsch turned into a tone machine. I can't even describe how good it sounds. But if any of you gretsch guys that have replaced pickups with TV JONES you know what im talking about. Here are some pictures.
