Interesting,capnhiho! I will keep that thought in mind for the future as I have longed for a Joe Pass Emperor for quite some time ! As for this guitar, I just found a set of used Gibson 490’s (490R and 490t) at a good price so I will be giving them a whirl :)

Welcome. This is the place!!

Welcome! Another New Yorker here just up North in Washington Co.

Hi Hickeroar, Great minds think a like!

Hi dswo, I used them although they did not drop right in. I had to ream the hole for the bushing ever so slightly. Also had to drill new holes for the mounting screws. Neither was a big deal. The tips of the mounting plates covered the old screw holes. Just barely but they covered. Love them.

Not sure about the pickups yet. Going to play as is a bit and see what I think after a while. Thanks for the specs on the Alnicos. Will check them out!

Replacing the stoptail and bridge as well. Tonepro locking bridge and stoptail.

My name is Larry and I now own an Epiphone Es-335. I am no longer a guitar snob!! Lol I see posts here were they are looked down upon but, i don't care what it says on the headstock. It plays well and sounds nice. Good bones if I decide to make some up grades in the future.

I like this combination a lot. I am mainly a fingerpicker and this gives me good note separation and volume with out getting muddy.

The Bigsby is the stock one it came with. I just changed out the arm. Works fine.

Ben upgrading slowly over the last couple of years. Chet arm, Rocking bar bridge, TV Jones Classic Plus in the bridge, TV Jones Duo-Tron in the neck and Grover Sta-Tite tuners. Love it!! :)

Sorry All, should have realized it had probably been discussed to death but could not find a definitive answer using the search feature. Ordered a set anyway. I’ll crawl back under my rock now 😊

Anyone ever use the Grover Sta- Tite V97-18GA to replace the stock tuners on a 5420? Look like they would fit.

One of my favorites. My 07 AEX 1500 designed by Martin Taylor. Bought it on a whim. Glad I did!

My heart felt sympathies to you and yours.

Actually, I put a very small piece of double sided tape under the feet of the base once I had placement zeroed in… so I guess its not floating :) but, the rocking bar works well enough for me. …. Full discloser; I am not as much of a player as I am a play at it. So YMMV :)

Thats what I did. Works fine. A certain “ Mr. Atkins” seemed to do ok with one. ;)

Such an icon… RIP

I put T-Armonds in mine. Love them.

Beautiful guitar. Congratulations!

Close, it’s made from an old RCA Victor Dynagroove LP!😎

Cool new Gretsch clock! Diggin it!

Got to love a Mullen!

Beautiful rendition!

Loved it. Thanks for posting!
