The Japanese made Player's Edition with U.S.-made Full'Tron Humbucker pickups
I upgraded the bridge to an ABM 2400 roller bridge, but the original bridge is also included.

Great condition, slight mark in lacquer at headstock as per photo.

Guitar is photographed exactly as I've been playing it, I didn't clean it up for the photos so that it's an honest picture of condition but as I never get out it's not seen much action. lol 

Original case with COA & case candy.

I'm based in Glasgow, lovely smoke-green from a non-smoking household.

    It sure is. I was looking to switch in...probably Dynasonics...but cost / complexity / fear of failure made me realise I should probably swap out the full guitar.

    Love this — how would Dynasonics compare with drive in this? Considering both pups for a Gretsch buy? Thanks Jon

    With the caveat that everyone hears things differently, to me these don't provide enough 'spank' for what I'm looking for from a Gretsch.

    They're better (to my ears) than the Broad'Trons that are in my G6228 as they don't sound like PAFs, but they are definitely...as the name suggests...fuller sounding. Too full for my tastes.

    I listened to some examples of Dynasonics (*may have been DeArmonds) in a solid body and I thought "that's the sound!"

    They're single coils though (the Dynas) so noisy.

    That's lovely.  Had a double cut white Broadkaster from here and sold back to here eventually,  but the smoke green is such a lovely look and these just sound great.  GLWTS

    Gretschwise there are Players Edition Jets with tremolos and Dynasonics.

    I'm into Offsets, Rosewood fretboards, recently I've been getting back into my Strat and the contoured heel models have peaked my interest.

    Bump.  Some good guitars out there but the right one hasn't come up yet.
