g5622t Looks like this is a 3 pickup guitar, not 2.

From what I can see, the 5245T pickguard is cut for those black-top FilterTron pickups, which have a completely different profile than the Gibson-stile pickups on your 2504. Since it would require modification, the risk of re-cutting the pickup notches would be all yours My 2 cents -OpenMike

Thing with the 5120 has always been that players always modify it in a few ways, almost universally: a) The electronics are completely sub-par, compared to the build and finish. You'll want to change out not just the pickups, but the entire wiring harness, pots and caps. Maybe the switch and...

I think ideally it should be from center of E string to center of E string where each rests in its saddle. My 2 cents -OpenMike

Love it!

After thinking about this, I realize that the purchase day of my very first guitar was my very worst guitar day, ever. Back in 1974, my family was stationed in Mexico City by Uncle Sam (foreign service father) and I attended the American School, there. They offered a beginner guitar course...

I have tried 3 variations in the flatwound spectrum: The Pyramid Gold 11-48 (pure nickel); Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Swing, 11-47 (steel/nickel); and the GHS Brite Flats, 11-50 (ground-wound steel) and I always go back to the TI Jazz Swing. The Pryamids just seemed to thud too much for my style and...

Electromatic Hollowbodies are still made in Korea: Solid bodies in China.

I've got one of your Titanium bars on my 5120, Pop's! Had an aluminum one on it, before that. As long as I use the method recommended in the Gretsch Guitars - Tech Tips video and keep violin resin on the bottom of the bridge-base, I have no problems with intonation - stays in tune real nice, up...

All my guitars are "Bad".:cool:

My tips for you: 1: Get your nut AND bridge slotted saddles correctly for the strings you intend to use, long-term. Heavier-gauge strings need wider slots. Slot bottoms should be square, not rounded, for Bigsby equipped guitars. 2: Learn to adjust your floating bridge for proper intonation...

Very interesting! Looks like pre-FMIC awesome-ness.

Joe Carducci and Tom Doyle explain the whole pickup situation in the videos on the page, below the main article. This guitar was one of 2 prototypes (the other painted in orange) used in developing the g6120. Chet Atkins did the pickup swapping, along with the the Gretsch designers/engineers...

Heck! I'll be Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga's singing love-child for a day, if it'll put my checking account back in the black. But Seriously, Folks! Here's my list, chopped down from 3 dozen I was originally considering: (no particular order) Roy Orbison Ann Wilson Freddy Mercury Ray...

How old is this guitar?

Actually, I like that 18th fret neck joint on the double-cut, hollowbody electromatics (5122DC, 5422TDC, 5422TDC-12 ... ). Talk about fret access!

One "yes" vote from OpenMike!
