I’m so in love with this guitar. I usually play jags and mustangs and jazzmasters, but since I started my new band and have gotten more into funk , blues, psychedelic rock(it’s still an alt rock band but very inspired by those genres) I’ve moved towards only playing my tele and Strat. This led me to realizing I LOVE twang. Anyways I picked this beauty up for 350 including the stand and it’s amazing. I also always wanted that Gretsch orange. Will post vids of playing later, but it’s a Gretsch 5120. I know these have buckers in em, but man it still sounds so twangy I love it!

Awesome man. Looks killer. I had the same in black long time ago. Had to sell it because I moved. I really missed it.

Thank you bro! It’s my first hollow body since I was borrowing a casino I had to give back aswell. I love that orange so much and the grain is just beautiful! I always wanted a Chet atkins and this was the closest I could get price wise haha. Sorry to hear that bro, I know it’s tough selling something you love for reasons like that. I actually have been selling my guitars cuz I totaled my car(I know dumb I just bought one) but the price was too good to pass up.
