Congrats!

I just spent a few hours in the studio doing a session with my 5129. What a great guitar.

Lot's of love for the 5129 here as well!
It was my first Gretsch. I have and had several prolines since, but I'm always coming back to the 5129. Somehow that appears to be the guitar I play most at home. |
