Who doesn't I've actually thought about building a low power twin!

An Actual Button...

Perhaps "button" is the misleading nomenclature! Everything was analog, back in those days...

Now, I know that I was a full participant in the 60's and 70's, but I am CERTAIN that I saw this feature on a friend's Gretsch... no mistake.

Well the guitar got here today and after a few hours of setup time it's spectacular!!! I didn't buy the guitar for the aesthetics, as matter of fact, it's a little over the top for me. But when I opened the case it looked very nice. It had roundwound strings on it, which I changed to flatwounds (Thomastik JS112 .012 thru .050). And with the new strings the guitar came to life with a tone that is just fantastic, especially the neck pickup which to me is always the hardest pickup to get right! I also oiled up the fretboard and bridge base, tightened the bigsby handle and two knobs, polished the frets, set the intonation, and polished the whole guitar looking it over carefully for any damage. There was only some small impressions on it. I will probably put more marks on this guitar in the first week I will play it! So here it is.

Somewhat older thread, but are you still liking the 6120? I've been debating between the 55 like yours and the 59, which has the Tv jones classics. Yours has the medium jumbo frets and the vintage select 59 has the small frets, and not sure I'd like that.

I've grown to love this guitar, and I also have a Players Edition Anniversary with Gretsch high sensitivity Filtertrons. I like them both, but I prefer the TV Jones T-Armond pickups in the G6120T '55 VS. I like the fret size just fine, but I would get along just fine with smaller fret wire too. For higher gain stuff I go with the Anniversary because the ML bracing is amazing at keeping the high volume feedback in check. But for everything else the 6120 rules. I love the way the 6120 sounds slightly dirty and the way it blends with my acoustics. Listen to the fills in this song, especially the chord sounds near the end, it's the 6120. And you, I like the lacquer finish on the 6120T

Great sound. Have to admit the 6120 55 has a certain, wonderful sound. Nice track too. Thanks for sharing that.

Ha these pictures and this great playing and sound is making my decision difficult between the 6120 59 with the classics vs the 55. However it is nice to have a decision where you win either way.
