Mmmm, chilis. I had the pleasure of tagging along with my wife to a conference in New Mexico last year, and there was some very fine green chicken...

Congratulations! Looks great.

Toronto doesn't really have its own cuisine—although we do have the best street hot dogs on earth. (Sorry, Chicago, it's true.) What we lack in...

I'm a drummer first and always, so I'd want a drumming lesson from Phil Collins. (Seriously, go listen to his mid-70s work with Genesis. His...

Gretsch makes two kinds of Filtertrons: HS ("High Sensitivity") Filtertrons, and Blacktop Filtertrons. HS Filtertrons are the standard pickups on...

I had to file the high E slot a little deeper in the Bigsby bridge that I added to my 5620. But that guitar has an unusually shallow break angle...

Very nice guitar! It was gorgeous to begin with, and you've given it a fine set of upgrades. Good luck with the sale!

That Daphne Blue is lovely. A couple of thoughts: Blacktop Filtertrons are easy to come by. You can usually find a pair for about $50. So if you...

Congrats, and welcome to the forum! It's always nice to see a fellow Canadian. That's a gorgeous Jet. The two-tone finish is pure class.

Welcome, Herzart! Glad to have you with us.

Welcome! Congrats on your 5422. They're wonderful guitars.

Hipshots are fantastic tuners. I have them on three of my four Gretsches and will be putting them on the custom guitar that I'm planning to build....

Glad to hear you've gotten to the bottom of this! My wife says you can call her Dr. House. :D She also wanted me to thank you for reporting...

Twizzlers. Preferably strawberry, but all licorice is good licorice.

Looks fantastic! Memo to everyone with a 5220: grab a B3 and one of these.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, @Thass. I shared this post with my wife, who is a family physician, and asked what she thought. Her reaction—which...

Welcome! I think you can get Gretschy tones from both semi-hollows and hollows. A lot of that great Gretsch sound is in the Filtertron pickups....

Nicely done! I was going to suggest getting a three-hole Electromatic pickup ring and a TV Jones dual screw adapter, but it looks like you've got...

Thanks, all! It arrived safe and sound last Friday night, and I'm delighted with it. Here's the NGD thread:...

Congratulations! You got a steal on an excellent guitar. You mentioned Korea, but as far as I know, this guitar would have been made in Japan....

Welcome to the forum! Glad to have you with us. If you're looking for enablers, rest assured that we are here for you. Streamliners are good...

I'll second @radd's advice. Some people like to swap out their Gretsch strap knobs for Schaller strap locks, but I like the Gretsch knobs....

Beautiful! Congratulations!

Nice! Have fun with it.
