Imagine if Gretsch did, well you know, Gretsch Filtertron pickups so their guitars sounded like Gretsches

Nice. So confession time. Did you wire to the pots or cut n splice?

"My turn to operate!!"

What model Gretsch is that?

Cool, looks a whole lot better too. Might get some for mine, although it's my least used guitar so I'm not that committed to the idea.

Gretsches vary hugely in sound and vibe dont they ? My Terada made 6119 was a very different sounding and playing guitar to my current 2420 streamliner. The 6119 was a very civilised instrument, more of a country gentleman picker vibe whereas the Streamliner is very much more Jack white in feel. (maybe cos thats because you feel a bit more inclined to get carried away on a $1K guitar than a $6k guitar ?). Pickups on the 6119 were TV jones classics and on the 2420 its a P90 in the neck and a broadtron in the bridge. I find it quite a nice combination for a variety of different noises. Incidentally I also have a set of GFS surf 90's on the water that I had intended for my 73 Starfire but as I have now found an original set of Guild HB1's may now end up in my Gretsch should I get sick of the sound of the P90 and broadtron. Will be interested to hear how you get along with these pickups, they certainly look the part.
