The new rewound pickups are absolutely stunning...
But they will still be P90s
They are quite skinny and look alright when you've got it in your hand.
We're they? Well that's out then
I'm going to see if I can get to Cardiff this weekend and try out a few, choices are the streamliner (I never remember the model as they aren't exactly catchy) the casino coupe and I really like the ibanez as73 but only in black. You watch now I come back with another Les Paul
I'm the same with pointy rock guitars.............I can't be trusted.
My Gretsch is a G2420.
It was £380 as it has no Bigsby.
The same shop sells the same model *with* a Bigsby for £435 so that's the rough price bracket for the model.
The Casino I have no idea about but @Bridgehouse is into them, he might know a good price for them and some particulars about the model.
Ibanez is my thing usually but not the Semi's.........I don't know why I think it's because I've never really wanted a Semi until now and having the Gretsch is enough..............or at least it was until I saw that green Casino!
LOL.
I can safely say the Gretsch really is a keeper, it's WAY too nice to sell and now that I've bought the hard case and had it all set up like that, it's just such a sweet guitar it would never fall out of favour. The build quality is flawless, I literally can't find a glitch on it anywhere. NOt a flaw in the paint, no join lines out, all the hardware is perfect. I think honestly the one place where I and anyone else would probably upgrade at some point is the pickups and pots/wiring harness but in saying that, they sound bloody great if I plug it in right now so it's not like it's screaming out for it. I do think there are options with the pickups and wiring though but the rest of the hardware won't need changing at all, .......ever.
Really, seriously well done Gretsch.
Hope that helps.
OK you get one of my choices I will get the other
You could try a standard set of P90s but you'd have to hack around with them.
