So I finally got one. A brand spanking new 6120-1959LTV. Honestly, I don't know how I lived without it. It makes me happy. It makes all who see it happy. Next week is neck sanding week. Damn, Mr. Jones. Way to make a killer pickup.

If there are no pics it didn't happen!

No, congratulations, you got quite a guitar there.

I just got one myself, but a lefty version. It was used, but totally flawless...I love it too. The nitro finish makes me a little nervous about scratches or chips...it is something else though!

You've learned that line pretty quick DG :D:D:D

nice. Good luck with it!

Next week is neck sanding week.

?? You're going to sand the neck on your NEW Gretsch?? :confused:

I'd agree with that assessment! :D

?? Your're going to sand the neck on your NEW Gretsch?? :confused:

I'd also ask the same question! :eek:

its a lacquer finish......!!

nothing like a 6120....congrats!!!! now how bout some photos?? :D

..... Next week is neck sanding week. .......

I see no problems to do that. I did it on all my Pro Line Gretsches, that i wanna keep. It feels and plays a lot better.

Yikes! I betcha you have sweaty paws.

HNGD Telecastrator! :D ..pics are a MUST!

Yeah. It's not too sticky, but it would be way better with no finish at all. Here it is in all its orangeness. I dig the hell out of the contrast between the bigsby and the rest of the hardware. Drives my OCD friends crazy. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33983450@N04/6723881307/

Not sure why it's not posting the picture, but here it is.

That's on my ever-shorter list of maybes. It's like a Setzer model without the Setzer nameplate. All respect to Mr. Setzer, I just love the pure look of the stocker.

One mod I do to my Filtertron guitars with. Tone switch is to swap the pickup and tone switch positions. It takes removing the strings and neck pickup, then tying soft twine to both switches and pull them through the pickup hole. Swap which switch is attached to which pickup and pull 'em back into position. Voila! No more hitting the tone switch when you mean to switch pickups.

Congrats Tele mate, Arf

A beauty indeed, congrats man!

All the best with it!

Thanks, y'all! I can't keep my hands off it.

She's a beaut!

I dig the hell out of the contrast between the bigsby and the rest of the hardware. Drives my OCD friends crazy. I have the same thing on my 6120 DC and I love it too. These came with a chrome V-cut, a rocking bar bridge and all other hardware in gold. It gives it a functional, but not rough, look.

That's a great idea. Not sure why they're not shipped that way! Well worth the time it takes to do it. Just makes sense.
