whitetrashrocknroll Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Started life as a Gretsch G5129 Electromatic Hollowbody Firebird Red But will end up a kustom colour with filtertrons and different control layout similiar to the "brian setzer hot rod" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgmorg Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 My personal fave is the knotty pine like on the roundup series, but that might be a bit difficult in this case. Other than that- the orange Gretches are just so hideously wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Gretsch is one of those companies that figured out how to perfectly balance "cool" and "tacky". I mean, who in their right mind paints a semi-acoustic archtop orange. Really. But they made it work. Now, I don't think I'd WANT to see a Gretsch done up like a Gibson archtop.
