Nice playing and great sound.

I love Gretsches. The cool thing is that by switching to just the neck pickup and rolling off the pickup volume, you can get a very mellow tone that works well for Jim Hall-type stuff.

I believe that one is made in Indonesia? I have a 6117 Double Anni reissue. The Japanese Gretsches are superb quality. There’s little that can touch them for the price.

(BTW in case you’re wondering I have no tuning problems with the Bigsby. Played a 2.5 hour set last weekend and didn’t to have do any major retunes at all.)

Yeah, I dig mine. I installed a "tone switch" on mine, because Hot Rods don't have tone controls. Using the tone switch and the neck pickup works well for "jazzier" tones. I can get a more PAF/P90 tone or even a Wes-type thing with the tone switch.
