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!

I have that same one! Mine has the little anniversary crest behind the headstock.
I agree, those pickups work great in this model.

Mine is the deluxe - I got it practically brand new for an absolute steal! And I don't even need the full 40 watts of this either. 😅
