Gretsch G5120 Modified - This guitar was mine and served me well. I finally made the move to a Japanese Gretsch so this one's gotta go. I contoured the bridge and pinned it. I changed all the hardware to gold including adding the "Arrow Only" knobs that are so hard to find. I added a TV Jones Classic in the neck and a Classic Plus in the bridge position. I shelled out the big bucks for the Chet Atkins pickguard. Big bucks in parts and big bucks in labour if you had me do this to your guitar. Better yet, buy this one for $1200.00

Dead on nails the Vinnie Bell Coral sound. 13 drone strings and 6 strings over a Gotoh Buzz bridge, three lipstick tube pickups, red and black alligator crackle finish make this super groovy baby!
