Anybody wanna buy a Gretsch? It's orange with chrome stuff and a Bigsby.

Pics??????

Of course. It's a 94 6120, but the pickups have been changed to TV Jones and sound awesome. I think the parts have been switched from gold to chrome, along with the pickguard. I don't know for sure, since I don't know G's like I do Ricks. Feel free to post truths here to educate me. Cheers, JD

Yeah ,all 6120's have gold hardware ,so yours has had it switched,along with the pickguard and pickup surrounds.

The TV's are a nice upgrade though.

I should have also mentioned that the Brian Setzer 6120 Hot Rod models have chrome hardware and silver guards and pickup surrounds,sorry 'bout that .

That's a smart, practical finish feature; the impracticality of gold hardware due to its quick wearing off/dulling with even modest regular use is quite disappointing to me, and dissuades me from playing my 6120 DSW more often. That and the fact that I generally find gold hardware to be a bit over the top and slightly gaudy. At least the 6120 models mix it up a bit with chrome/nickel and gold.

I've considered switiching out all of my gold hardware for chrome, but I have yet to find a source where one can by chrome De Armond pickup covers separately, rather than having to buy the whole pickup, as well as chrome arrow only knobs.

Sold! Thanks, JD
