I have it narrowed down to a Jet 59 model or the Setzer Series....I know I want TV Jones pickups and a good Bigsby...

I've been all over Reverb, Ebay, and the common sites....Anywhere else I should look specifically? Or similar styled-guitars???

Thanks,
Mattfig
 
I know nothing about Gretsch. Once, a friend of mine brought his Duo Jet (I think with Filtertron PUs) and it really sounded amazing thru my 2203. Impressive, throaty, full of life ! And the guitar was surprisingly comfy to play given its size. Great fiddle !

Thanks Jack....
 
That Eliot Easton model that Dan from the Darkness rocks would love one .
 
Pulled the Trigger on a Gretsch G6129T-59....

It's a Pro Series Silver Sparkle Jet with TV Jones Classic pickups and all the good stuff I wanted except for locking tuners....

I ordered from Sweetwater and they hooked me up with a terrific price and will even install new locking tuners before shipment! Pretty nice...

Man, that's a beaut !
 
They’re great guitars except those TV Jones pickups are notorious for having high end loss when rolling back the volume. I installed a treble bleed and it was better but still noticeable.
 
Wow! Nice choice!! :rock: That will either cure the gas,, or be a gateway,,, :lol: :LOL:

Thanks for the input....This one has a Treble Bleed circuit already, which, I hope, will help with that issue...
