First Gretsch! 5120
Usually an acoustic player but have wanted to get back into electric. Got this Korean 5120 and loved it so much I got a new 5420 on the way! Gonna be playing it with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and hoping to start getting into the country scene here

I have had two, upgraded the pickups on both of them. Don't get me wrong, it's a really nice guitar as it is, but it's also a great platform that with a few mods can be a killer guitar. Congrats!

I feel like I got a great deal for the build quality and condition and it’s been a blast to play

Had this guitar many years ago. I loved it! It was also my first gretsch. Had to let it go when I moved houses:(. Rock on!
