I was actually considering the Dynasonic, since the Shadow it came with is just too stressful to use, if that's a valid emotion here. Did you leave the undersaddle pickup in place or did you remove it and, if so, did it affect the sound noticably? Presumably for the better?

Yes, I thought I had one on my phone but don't. I'll post one up in a bit.

The reason I ask is that I'm wondering exactly where your tech mounted the dynasonic, as I'm wondering if he came close to the tone bar bracing. I'm getting serious about wiring mine up with a full set. Maybe even slapping a sound post and a new compensated bridge and Bigsby on it Like a mini Gretsch 6120! I bought this guitar for fun so, let's have fun!!! |

I think it's all the same, just different sizes.

Thanks for your help! I just emailed TV JONES for Dynasonic T-Armond pickups and harness prices.

I bought mine for a good price on Reverb.

I'm looking on Reverb right now This is really going to be a fun project and make a great littler travelling guitar so I don't have to take my 6120 on trips where it can get banged up. I just love the Dynasonic sound that I get with my Gretsch.
This is the set up I would go with (master vol, master tone, individual neck and bridge volumes, and a three way switch). And I would put a small tone post between the top and back. And then I would pull out the Epiphone bridge and pickup and have this installed (separate 1/4" output jacks jacks on the plastic plate), and dual source through my Grace Felix preamp!... https://reverb.com/item/7210623-fish...-guitar-pickup |

Disappointed by Epiphone Century De Luxe archtops
The contemporary Epi Century Deluxe archtop is a horrible guitar.
The vintage Epi Deluxe made in NY in 1930s & 40s (before Gibson's parent bought Epiphone) is a truly magnificent top notch instrument. The two have very little in common. Looks like Gibson is still sore about Epiphone having made better archtops back in the day. Note that most top jazz guitarists played Epiphone back then, while the singing cowboys played Gibson. |
