Custom Order Arrivals-The Best Gretsch Ever*

The back binding is also definitely Gretsch-like.

The next one will have to be a "White Falconesque" Newport w/Trons. Gotta hook 'em up with some gold sparkle nitron binding stock for that I guess. That would require some significant financial manuvering though, so maybe in a few years?!

Remember that scene in Revnge Of The Nerds where Poindexter looks at his pants and exclaims "Akkkk!"?

Very clearly a case for corn flakes and classics

"Two teas both with sugar please"

In the back of an alley

While little Dirt Cowboys turned brown in their saddles

Sweet chocolate biscuits and red rosy apples in summer

For it's hay make and "Hey mom, do the papers say anything good.

Are there chances in life for little Dirt Cowboys

Should I make my way out of my home in the woods"

Brown Dirt Cowboy, still green and growing

City slick Captain

Fantastic the feedback

The honey the hive could be holding

For there's weak winged young sparrows that starve in the winter

Broken young children on the wheels of the winners

And the sixty-eight summer festival wallflowers are thinning

For cheap easy meals and hardly a home on the range

Too hot for the band with a desperate desire for change

We've thrown in the towel too many times

Out for the count and when we're down

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

From the end of the world to your town

And all this talk of Jesus coming back to see us

Couldn't fool us

For we were spinning out our lines walking on the wire

Hand in hand went music and the rhyme

The Captain and the Kid stepping in the ring

From here on sonny sonny sonny, it's a long and lonely climb

Belg-Standard pickups

JWhit-Do you play it by ear or did you use a cheat sheet (tab or whatever)? I learned it by ear and had to make up some chords as I went along. I'd be curious what it looks like on paper.

Just by ear, and there are some fun chords: a C with an E in the bass (0-3-2-0-1-0), a D7b9 (x-6-7-5-7-5) and a neat little chord I don't know the name of in that "For Cheap Easy Meals" bit where you slide up from the Eminor to 0-5-5-0-0-0, and all kinds of cool little fills.

Great looking M3, Chris and Dave. God knows I had a love/hate relationship with mine, but I still miss it.

I'm curious to hear what you think of it after some amplifier time with it.

As for "The Best Gretsch Ever," well, we'll just have to see about that. :unsure:

Uhhh... ;)

Since it's in my posession, I guess it's up to me. I'll give it some time ASAP. Would you like the report on a Tech21 combo or a Marshall TSL601?

Never heard a Tech21 so through a Marshall or Fender type amp,

(with tubes) would be nice. ;)

Kilroy, you DO have fancy pants. You just wear them on the INSIDE.

Tone Report

Things I dug-The in-between (2&4 positions) on all channels, especially clean. Bell tones, spanky spank tones, very chimey, useable sounds. My favorite thing abut the guitar for sure. Also dug the bridge pup by itself, especially on the lead channel (TSL601). Great sounds all around when lowering the guitar volume a bit.

Not so much-The middle pup. Just too loud and gritty. It got much better once I lowered the pup further away from the strings.

Not having played a spruce top model, I can't do the maple vs spruce call. It didn't seem "overly" bright to me though. I'd say best results would be with a Fender amp and a player that plays jazzier/bluesier stuff. I lean more towards the "fuse the notes together with lotso gain" sound. YMMV.
