Here I send some pics of my customized Gretsch G5128 Guitar.
The artworks on the Top and the Headstock of the guitar were done by a friend of mine.
The specs are:
(of course) synchronized TV Jones Powertrons
Gretsch Synchrosonic Bridge
Gretsch by Bigsby tailpiece
and Sperzel locking Tuners
And here`s the wonderful Headstock:
I hope you`ve enjoyed the show and let`s keep Rock`n`Roll alive!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

what mounting style did you use?
I wanna put some on my 5126.

If there are the Gretsch Humbuckers in you can use the english mount system.
If you have the DeArmonds in there you can`t use the regular mounts,cause the Pickupholes are to small.
You must mill the openings on measure and glue some wooden braces under the top of the guitar(you need them for fixing the Picks).After that you can use the standard mount (with no ears)
if you like I will send you some pics with PM.
Best wishes

That's too cool. Never seen anything cooler! And I like the bridge, the Bigsby and the knobs...
