What do you think of this mod?

From what I can tell from the photo, it looks like a standard G cutout tailpiece. The mounts for the V tail are just sitting there, lonely, doing nothing. I like the G tail, but, it seems to be an experiment in change for change's sake alone. Should've left well enough alone. YMMV.

 

Yeah, looks a little wonky with the post holes visible. I don't have a V tail guitar anymore to look at but I think you could put the V tail and posts back on, run the strings through it to the G tail. If the owner doesn't have it they are only about $25. I like the G tails a lot and I know it works on Gretsches with wrap around bridge/tail.

 

Had that tailpiece on my ‘08.
Man, I miss that guitar!

 

As stated, nut’n wrong with the tail piece. The left over stop tail mount locations, not acceptable. I would pass on the guitar.

 

All it needs is someone famous to play it and then people will put the two holes in on purpose (like the Malcom Young).

 

I saw that one on GC's site. I thought it had a big gouge on the top or something til I enlarged it. Kinda curious about that B-52 sticker...

 

I have NO interest in a guitar, especially a Gretsch guitar, with no Bigsby.
That being said, this Jet is über cool!
