WTB Japanese Gretsch silver/sparkle Jet in gold or silver

John_A

Probably a G6129 but open to other options.  Maybe another flashy colour like red sparkle or the blue pearl one, cash waiting

the Filtertron model preferred

TheMarlin

Champagne sparkle is may particular favourite colour. Or classic black.

Coda have a used one. Expensive though compared to private sale rates.

Got all excited for a minute there, but it's got dynasonics raher than Filtertrons.  Thanks for the heads-up though

The dynasonics are great pickups
I actually prefer them but TV jones do an FT in DA mount so you could put one in the bridge (personally I wouldn't) I own a lot of Gretches and my Silver Sparkle with Duos is one of my favs

I like the dynasonics too, if I could afford it I'd have one with each, but I've played a few now and the Filtertrons are the sound I'm after

I once bought one for £850 on eBay.  There are great deals to be had on these if you're patient, and bide your time.

And here's your chance to make a couple of hundred quid

TheMarlin

No. I ended up trading it with a friend for another guitar.  I was open about how much I paid for it.  We were both happy with the trade. 

I'm more of a Filtertron guy. I have recently fallen for double cut jets.  After a double cut Filtertron Jet, but will have to wait for a while..... between work projects at the moment.....
