It's the playoffs, and I've been watching a lot of football clips and caught a screenshot of George Kittles homage to Bob Weir on his foot before the game against the Eagles... GO NINERS π

$2,350 Shipped. Iβd prefer PPFF, but wonβt bemoan anyone who needs to pay regular PP Trades of other electric guitars considered. While I'm not looking for anything in particular, I'd be interested in a Black/Silver Falcon Double Cut. This is an interesting White Falcon as it seems to be mainly modeled after a '55 with hump inlays and vertical Gretsch headstock logo. But while most '55 models have Dynasonic pickups, this one has Filtertrons. This guitar is in very good shape, I can find no obvious flaws or dings. However, it originally had a Cadillac tailpiece, but that has been replaced with a gold Bigsby with string-through bar making string changes much easier than a normal bigsby. This left a couple of small holes visible on either side of the bridge on the bottom (see pics). Original Cadillac tailpiece is not included. The pickups are the original Filtertrons that came on the guitar, they have not been swapped. It plays very well with tone exactly what you would expect from a big hollow body and Filtertrons. The controls are a 3 way pickup selector, master volume, individual pickup volume and master tone. The neck is a typical MIJ Gretsch medium U shape with measurement of 0.82" to 0.92" 1st to 10th fret. Weight is 8.1 pounds. Includes original branded hard case.

I'm just going by memory, but I don't think EMG active pickups need grounding... "only on the tone controls"... pretty easy to check if you have an alligator clip test lead laying around For the connector, you're going to need a "stereo jack" for the power...

Even with a broken/cracked/repaired headstock? -
Most of the folklore regarding MJ's pickups we're during the 80's In the early 1980s, many Seymour Duncan pickups were indeed hand-wound, often by Seymour Duncan himself or early key employees like MJ, with pickups without a winder initial typically indicating Seymour's own handiwork, using specialized, often vintage, equipment like Leesona winders for faithful reproductions. The company grew from these early days of personal winding and rewind services, with specific paper labels or ink stamps identifying winders as the operation expanded, but hand-winding remained central to their craft... In essence, the early '80s were a crucial period where Seymour Duncan established his reputation through meticulous, largely hand-wound pickups, with the company growing from a small operation to a renowned brand, As of now, Maricela βMJβ Juarez "La Maestra" is the manager of Seymour Duncans Custom Shop where she now overlooks and teaches her department, and I'm sure does custom handwounds as needed
