G Man

Thought I noticed you slumming it over on the Gretsch Talk pages. Nice score!

Kinda makes you feel bad for them, and everyone else in their generation for that matter. But who knows, the futures so bright I gotta wear shades.

B/W/B

Did they not look at their own pictures before writing the description? Crafted in the USA, it features a gorgeous figured maple top over a solid mahogany body,

Just the beginning, going to get worse before it gets better. Damn shame.

And yet, that's probably the best guitar photos I've seen from GC Used. Sad, really.

Barnum was right.

Can't say I have, but it's not a tone we would use with my band.

I ignored this thread for several days as I thought it was going to be about Greta Van Fleet. 😁

Yeah, that was horrible. Like Kiz, I'm a white guy in my late 50s and can deal with some hip hop, but I couldn't understand a damn word the guy was saying (singing?). It seemed to me as though the mix was off, but maybe it's supposed to sound that way? 🤷‍♂️ Either way, makes me mourn rock and roll as a popular form of music.

Thanks all. The bridge is very workable, plenty of intonation setting available as each string has it's own sliding saddle. It is not sharp at all and comfortable under the palm. These bridges come stock with little thumb screws for each saddle that stick up too far to be able to palm mute, but the previous owner swapped out the thumb screws for flat heads and they are pretty much invisible feeling under hand. I'm okay with the floating bridge, as I don't have too heavy of a hand when picking, but if I find it a problem, it's easy enough to get pinned. Neck is nice and full, feels similar to my 50s standard LP. These are heavily chambered, so it get's some airiness to the tone, very nice.

As I get older, I'm finding clean tones are really working for me. Well, this new toy has beautiful, chimey cleans and looks sexy as all get out, a little under 8 lbs., couldn't resist. And while it's called Cadillac Green, it has this blue/green thing going on, very similar to my old Eclipse.

Not showing up for me in Chrome either.

Imagine my complete lack of surprise. 🫠. You should jump on it, sounds like it was custom made for you.

Right here on the HFC we have 2 great winders, either can make a killer set of pickups to your desired specs. No affiliation other than being a fellow forum member. https://www.gravelinpickups.com/products/#guitar https://carondeletpickups.com/carondelet-t That's the direction I'd be heading.

Thanks for the input all, after a bunch of videos, I'm going to start cheap and grab the DOD Carcosa, looks just what I'm looking for and I can grab one for just shy of $100 used on the verb. I'll let you all know how it works out.

Based on the overwhelming responses here, guess that was indeed asking too much.

I'm in the market again for a fuzz pedal, and damned if there aren't way too many options out there. Ideally, I'd like something with a bias control that let's me get that choppy Jack White thing, but also able to clean up to a classic fuzz tone, and still be able to do doom. Is that asking too much? And if not, what do you all recommend.

Strings and Beyond is having a site wide 15% off black friday sale. Use code bf15. Just got two 3 packs of NYXLs, happy camper. https://www.stringsandbeyond.com/

Unless you have a PR already, you do need this.

Too bad the NYXL strings never go on sale, as I've come to prefer them over the standard XLs.

This one just showed up over on TGP, no affiliation, blah blah blah. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/robin-savoy-classic-semi-hollow-guitar-with-upgrades.2604904/

That is about as ugly of a guitar as one could imagine. And all maple? Yikes.
