This bigsby has been in pieces for like a year. Definitely restrung it wrong but it felt good to play it again. The arm is missing anyways.

And it still absolutely rips!


Let’s get our dicks hard
Show off your Gretches!
 
I've been meaning to get a Jet Duo or silverjet from the early 90's. They sounded great when Cornell played them during the SuperUnknown era.
 
I've always been curious what these big ass F-hole things are like to play. How different are they to solid bodies acoustically?
 
I don't own any but always liked them. Except the fret markers but i can get past it.
The Corvette and Bikini models are pretty sweet imho
 
As much as I want another Firebird to replace the one that was stolen, I've gotta say Gretsch is that one major itch I haven't scratched yet.

I do have a Guild X-175 Manhatten that I love because it marries the Gretsch like hollow construction, Dynasonics, and Bigsby with the Gibson like 2+2 vol/tone + 3 way switch layout which is second nature to me now. But I gotta admit, it's not quite as sexy as a Gretsch. lol

I've also got an Eastman T64/V that ventures into the same territory albeit with that grittier P90 vibe.

Tbt I've always felt a bit lost on Gretsches when trying to figure out what knobs to turn when.
