NGD… just when i thought i was DONE!

[mbkri]

I didnt mean to, honest i didnt. I couldnt help myself.
2016 case queen g6128t.
I’d had a 6128 TVP powerjet before but it was just a bit too dark for my writing. Not quite Gretsch enough.
So ive been hunting for one of these for a while. Theres always plenty of 6128 guitars out there for sale but it seems there was only a couple of years that the model was produced just how i like it with the b6 v-cut and the small headstock, mud switch and classic Gretsch thumbnails. And its immaculate!
Arrived today and got acclimatized for a few hours.
Now to plug it in and see

Gorgeous, congrats!

 

[Mr Swisher]

That is an absolutely awesome guitar.

NGD of the year so far, without doubt.

Enjoy it, I am very jealous!

Congrats. Dontcha know you can never not buy another guitar? It's an addiction, like oxygen!

The jets.
I feel like the 6128 gets me into a few beefy spaces that the dynasonics couldnt reach.
And heres the Black beauties. Im expecting that these would be the ones i’d gig with if and when i get out there again. The 6120 has been the cornerstone of how i hear “my” sound, and the 6128 i hope will be a good counterpoint to it.

Just played around with it for a half an hour to get the intonation right and to check the electronics. Dang its just what i hoped it would be…. Especially through the Nocturn pedals.

Thats what Ive had my eye on now also. I never use tone control and I like how thats set up on these plus that woody growl from from those 'trons. Even though I don't need it. Or maybe I do.

Congratulations. She's a beauty.
But the only way to never buy another guitar is to never go into a music store and turn off your internet. And don't answer the door when your friends come over. (Is there anything I've forgotten?)
I know... it happened to me the other day. I ran into a guitar pusher and he made me buy one. So sad...

 

[mrfixitmi]

That is a very beautiful guitar and is one of my favorites. They play well, look great, and yes the small head stock is cool.

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your good taste in guitars.

What a find! I look at that guitar and I hear hey, you got to hide your love away! No more hiding. Out of the closet and into the herd.

 

[Glaw]

Sure is pretty!

 

[Sid Nitzerglobin]

Congrats!

Couldn't agree more about the spec, my 2016 was exactly what I wanted for a DuoJet (well aside from really liking Classic/Classic + over HS filters & a swapping to a DE arm on the Bigsby).

 

[DistortED]

Killer, congrats !!

 

[wabash slim]

There's no cure for GAS.
Sweet guitar!

 

[Crooner]

That is just a classic beauty! Congrats!

 

[inoshishi]

Congratulations! What a fine guitar. I definitely would like to get one in the future.

 

[Stefan87]

Congrats, this and the powerjets are just the best looki g jets in my opinion, something about the black and vcut bigsby just screams cool, and i don't like black guitars.

Totally understand how you couldn't help yourself with this one.

 

[juks]

Congrats, that's a beauty! Myself, I'm losing faith in myself. I was supposed to be done too, but its not happening .

 

[new6659]

[Trash Kidd]
