FS: Gretsch 5420 with Hilotron pickups

JJ72JJ72 Frets: 68
edited March 2022 in Guitars £
This is a Korea ekectromatic model from 2016. Absolutely lovely to play with a low buzz free action.
Also stays in tune brilliantly despite what Bigsby naysayers may say!
It currently has an ABM2400 roller bridge ( gold version) on it at present but I'll be putting the original back on for the sale ( the ABM is for sale if required).
No dings or marks on the guitar but the original glossy finish has been rubbed back and the guitar now has a matt worn in look.

I installed Gretch Hilotron pickups in it a few months ago as these were much more to my taste than the blacktop filtertrons.
I don't have the original pickguard I'm afraid
Guitar is currently strung with 11 gauge thomastik flatwounds
£425- I would prefer pickup and buyer can try here but will post for another £25.

    Nice. I have a Corvette with Hilotrons. Love the sound of these single coils. Sound of the 60’s right there.

    Yeah they sound great...House of the rising sun and Beatles tones for days. Unfortunately I just can't get on with the size of the guitar

    Not quite sure how to do that and upload to here.....any ideas?
    If I can manage it ( and I have to admit I'm a technophobe!) , what sort of style of playing/ sound are you looking to hear?

    Just a feel for the guitars overall sound,nothing in particular.  I think imgur would work.
