I love this tune. I used to accompany a friend on clarinet on it before he passed away. The Duke Robillard version that the OP links to is really nice.
Here’s my attempt on solo guitar. I’ve been doing a lot more gardening than practicing lately, so it’s rough. I’ll try to work on finger mechanics and clean it up.
It's been awhile since i last logged in here, but there's a strange synchronicity in that i was just playing
'If I Had You' a couple of days ago, and here it is as this month's standard...
and so, off to the shed i will head, since there are still a few days left in the month!!!
In any case, here's a quick 'baseline' recording, playing the melody and changes from memory, and

Would guess the Gretsch to be on the twangy side. Acoustic amp will just replicate. Small venue so you probably heard your tone well enough. Might try the ES175 and run an amp/speaker model with...
I hear a marked difference in hitting the fourth string all by itself vs. hitting only the fourth string but fretting the other two notes in the "shell." To my ear, if tempo allows, fretting 3 notes...
Eventually I would drop the 6th string stuff... but I had 3 rehearsals and zero experience in this style before the gig. I tried to fret it, but not hit it, but that was a low concern as I was more...
Massive difference in sound between the two to my ears, mainly the difference in laminate and carved. I have used the Bravo and L5 through all different amps, my Carr, DV Mark little jazz, Fender...
