Question for the OP . . . very curious about the weight of your '55 Jet. I am mildly looking for the same era Jet Firebird, and am curious what they may weigh, or if they may be all over the map in terms of weight.
Might anyone be able to enlighten me as to what (Filter'tron) pick-ups came stock with my 2004 MIJ Gretsch Jet Firebird? Any differences between this era Filters and current day ones? After a lengthy hiatus, getting back into electric guitar and was considering trying other pickups.
Late to the game, but just happened to see this video today. Was interested, but ultimately never pulled the trigger on an EC. Wish I could come close to playing like Sam!
Thanks everyone! This one is definitely a keeper! Although it’s only separated by three years from my ‘59, it feels quite different . . . simply fantastic in my hands. Can’t put it down.
Vintage. 1956.
Hmmm . . . I guess finding a box that would fit the guitar case was just too difficult. :eek: Made its way across the Canadian border and then across country.
Stay tuned . . .
