***SOLD*** FT: DuoJet G6228-BT Players Edition in Cadillac Green
What's Hot
This guitar totally turned me onto Gretches, but I find the Broad'tron pickups in the G6228 to be just a bit too 'PAF' sounding for my tastes. Different strokes for different folks.
I love the guitar though, and it occured to me that there may be someone out there who has the Filter'tron or DynaSonic version (G6128) but want to go more into PAF territory so I thought I'd put the feelers out for potential swap-mates?
The guitar is in excellent condition and with the original case and case candy. I can provide way more photos, I can do video and audio, but is anyone out there interested in such a swap? I live in Glasgow but can travel (within reason).

I had a pretty negative experience with the Creamery last year so wouldn't want to go there again. I bought a Super Black Cat along with the Sweet 14 (see my other listing for my PRS Vela) and I sold the Super Black Cat on Super-Quickly.
I did look at getting Gretsch Filter'trons but they don't have the 'lugs' that would allow me to affix them to the pickup mounting rings on the G6228.
TV Jones with universal mount may be an option but expensive
I'm very interested in DynaSonics but not sure they would fit so well in the Broad'Tron / Filter'Tron space - I think that's what led me to the concept of 'instead of swapping pickups why not swap the whole guitar?'
One thing I did want to mention that might be helpful to you, is that Jaime #Creamery was able to modify the lugs on my Black Cat set, to perfectly fit the Gretsch Broadtron mounts. They sit perfectly as a result. Which does make me wonder if other pickup companies might be able to offer a similar mod to fit your Jet?
Regardless, wishing you a hugely happy outcome whatever you do.

yeah I believe in supporting small companies if you can, and I’ve not ‘shared’ anything about the experience other than the comment above.
