Thanks for the heads up on this. The guitar looks great, a classic looking Gretsch. Do you know this guy? Is this a nice model, the 6120? What does DSW stand for? I could run up there tomorrow if every lines up in my mind.
Heya Rock. Taking a break from the internet, and forced to for the most part cuz my internet went down since yesterday; just got it back. But playing my Gretsch more than I ever have. In fact, I'm gonna do that now. Hope you and yours are well!
Thanks for the info. You probably know I have that 6136DNS WF (as well as the BLK one) I was thinking of buying a Penguin but I will defer to your opinion and be content. I hope you and yours are well. Pilgrim
Yea man,I don't care what anyone says...you can't beat those 6114's! I don't know how I missed that thread but it was cool.Those fingers move quite well for a young man of 59 years.
Hey,sorry I meant Guitar Center online ,used section ,type Gretsch guitars.I've bought guitars in the past from them online and sometimes you can get 200-300 right off the start...depending how long it's been in the store.I didn't know if you knew anyone looking for one of these.
Brent,hey just now got a chance to ask have you ever pulled the cav.plates off your New Jet and noticed how tiny the wiring and pots are?Since I've had mine redone it's been a total blessing...still a Gretsch with more oomph!By the way about $1100 @ the most for the "Rose"...you can always say it's gonna cost ya a little to get it playable,it would be nice to have.
going quite good. Just back from a 9 mile walk today, did 10.5 on Sunday and over 12 the Sunday before. Think I have done approx 160 miles since the beginning of March.
Yea,I hope he finds one and he may as these Jets are overlooked.I just got lucky.This one I got had 9-42's on it when it came.Every electric I get I play unplugged first for 30 min. or so just to listen to the wood.It sounded a little dead...the strings were fairly new.When I pulled off the cav. covers I noticed how hollow it was.I had a 'ah ha' moment.Just like my Nashville,I can't use anything lighter than 10-46's...just doesn't do the wood,the guitar justice.It came to life after I changed them.Personally,I use EB coated Slinky's on everything.Just love the broke-in sound out of the package and they feel great.
LOVE IT!!!Finally got it cleaned up,dropped in a new harness from TV JONES & got the frets dressed...KILLER!!!! Should've bought one of these long ago instead of the last DUO & Sparkle jet.
My wife taught engineering in Ruston and then moved here to Vicksburg, but she still had her thesis to present so we were going over all the time. I found a 62 sunburst 335 in that rag and went to see it. The guy wanted $400 but said he would take 300. I said ok let me see it and play it. He handed it to me and there was a Pentagram burned
into the back of the whole guitar. I passed. Being a minister I know there are things you just don't mess with.
Have a GREAT 2011
