On stage I have to wear a costume to be comfortable. Off stage I’m quiet, self conscious, reserved-so I need a character to play when I’m onstage. If that character wore shorts so be it, but for now it’s a suit and tie

Yeah that’s right!

I had one of those. I think it’s a G1921

1/8. Got them from stewmac

I feel they have a little more bite on the low end and have a bit more growl. A definite improvement but I’m still going to replace them with custom ones once I can get them made

I decided my black rat rod was so cool I needed a spare so I got a white one. It arrived with the worst set up I’ve ever seen. Must have been new hire day at the factory. The neck had serious backbow, frets were unlevel and had sharp ends, bridge was set really high. Luckily I can do that work...

Oh I changed the pickups to hs filtertrons immediately and took off the pick guard. I wasn’t having that. But I love matte black guitars and with Gretsch there aren’t many options for that. I got the white one now too. I’m putting my own pickups in that one

As of last month I thought my falcon was the perfect guitar but I ended up getting a rat rod and it’s become my absolute favorite. It’s by far the most comfortable and easy to play. I like it so much I bought another one. I change my mind all the time but for now the rat rod is my holy grail guit

Yeah! Love that show!

Great work! I’d be proud to have those

Ha! Thanks!

Love that color!

I’m 99% sure the falcon in the video is the guitar I recorded this with.

I’ve mentioned my falcon with the cheap paint job a couple times. Joe Carducci retired and there’s no one left to keep them from cutting corners. I still play Gretsch because it’s the sound I like but I won’t buy new anymore

Oh I order screws from tv Jones

Nice score!

Nice! I use Ernie Ball Prodigy 1.5. I prefer the black ones over the white ones. I tape them to my fingers though so grip doesn’t mean much to me

I use the same amp at home or on stage. A Vox ac15c2. It has the sound I like and it has a master volume and a channel volume so I can make the volume as low as I want and not lose the essence of the sound

I use d’addario 11s. They sound great and twangy. It was the preferred string of Poison Ivy of the Cramps. If it’s good enough for her it’s good enough for me

Hmm. I played mine the other day. It definitely has a chunkier neck. Mine is from the first year. Maybe they’ve changed it since 🤷‍♂️

I’d go with a Roland micro cube. They’re small and portable. Can get really loud when you want. Great tones and relatively useful effects. It’ll let you know if you’re sounding sour. It’s in your price range too

People looking for guitars on Craigslist don’t drop over 6 grand. They’ll get an offer to trade a squier strat and a crate amp for it.

I just got some black rings for my last project from eBay. Just google Gretsch black pickup rings and lots of options come up

For me the electros are easier to play. The neck isn’t as chunky as the 2420s

I’d say bridge. But then again I never really use the neck pickup with the stuff I play. I have a powertron + in the bridge on my falcon and it gets heavy if you want it to
