I got this on Saturday. It's my first Gretsch guitar. The Reverb seller saw I was watching it and sent me a reduced price offer that was just too good to pass up.
1966 Gretsch Tenneesean 6119. Came with the original case. She sports HiLoTron pickups. I did what TV Jones suggests and I raised the pole pieces to match the radius of the bridge and I raised the pickups closer to the strings. I must say these pickups sound fantastic. I played it through my '74 JMP, my '60 Ampeg Rocket-12, SLO-30 and my De Lisle Studio 15P. The De Lisle is a nod to a Vox AC15. That's the amp that sounded best for crunch with the Gretsch, especially with a 2000 Nobels ODR-1 with the volume all the way up and the gain all the way down. It sounded best for cleans with the Ampeg.
