I often wondered why they'd not done one before. Looks amazing.

Amazing player that was always there but never in the public eye, he was always overshadowed by wee Jimmie Krankie.
I think you'd have to be a massive fan to want that guitar, because, with the best will in the world it looks a right dog with the gaping pick up holes.
Just my personal opinion mind, and largely irrelevant because I will never have the money to get one!

It'll be 6k+ though, so I won't be having one unless I win the lottery.

Have they not?
I remember lusting after a new MY sig back in the 90's, but thinking back I don't think that had the empty pickup holes, just a single bridge one

I've been getting ideas about trying to find a used single pickup MY model they did (can't remember the model name / number) but they seem pretty hard to come by and are probably too much money for me anyway.
I don't get the Relic thing at all. But I totally get the replica thing (worn or not).

I'm sort of sorry that this one doesn't have the 'bishop's hat' plate covering the Burns vibrato rout. I love the story that Mal never twigged it was a stylised depiction of a knob (male member variety)

Anyhoo, if there is anyone genuinely after one of the original Gretsch 6131 Malcolm Young I signatures with 'high sensitive filtertron' bridge pickup only, bought new around about 2001/2 , let me know as I may just let mine go at the right price (no giveaways or silly offers mind, don't need to sell!).
A Pro Jet and a bit of sandpaper will get you close enough that most audiences wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Dont get me wrong, I love a nice Gretsch, and have a custom shop model, but this is just a bit too money-grabby for me.
