SizzlingBadger Inspired NGD

Post by vintage52 »

Noticing the recent purchase of SB, inspiration hit home and I thought that at the end of 14 years with a company, if they had no farewell present, I’d get my own.

Behold, the Gretsch G5122 Electromatic for your viewing pleasure.

Was the filthiest guitar I think I’ve ever bought but elbow grease and patience has brought back the sparkle.

Yeah it was.

Everything is surprisingly ok considering the state of the case and guitar.

Pickups have been swapped out although seller doesn’t think they have been.

Sounds ok for now.

Plays bloody wonderfully!!
