Default Gretsch G5422T 2016 Black with Helpful Upgrades and HSC

I love this guitar, but can't really justify keeping it.

The 2016 Black Gretsch 5422t is a thin body, right around the size and thickness of a 335. I prefer it over the more common 5420 because of the double cut and the more comfortable thinner body and yes, it is more feedback resistant.

It has a couple of simple upgrades that really help with the Bigbsy:

1) The Reverend soft Bigsby spring. I'll include the original spring, but this one is MUCH better.

2) The Vibramate string tree which makes changing strings a breeze.

3) The nut sauce which you apply every time you change strings. Helps keep the Gretsch in tune while using the Bigsby.

Pickups are perfectly set for the best chimey response. The Electromatic Blacktops are fantastic pickups once you dial them in. People spend a lot of money on TV Jones and of course, they are the gold standard, but well dialed Blacktops give very very little up to the Jones pickups.

Plays like a dream, all knobs and switches work perfect without any scratching. Very little playing time.

Comes with the Gretsch 3 latch Hardshell case.

$SOLD shipped and paypalled. No offers please, I think this price is more than fair for all that comes with it.

Where was this 3 months ago when I bought a black one of these and added those same upgrades?

Good price on a fun guitar!
