Members IBDBB Posted March 26, 2011 Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 Got the Cherry one a few months ago and the Aged Natural one a couple weeks ago from the "damaged" section. The Cherry one was also a "blem" that I think must be a blem because of the poorly matched top, doesn't bother me too much for now though, and because I have 2 I decided to swap the pickup in one of them so I put a power rails I had in my spare parts drawer. The other is stock. I think they both could benefit from new nuts and a bridge upgrade, but the rest seems pretty good. I decided to get the 2nd one because I love the versatility of these. And, i'm only out about $200 for both of them, so that is always a plus ' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> ' alt='>'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wulver Posted March 26, 2011 Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 If I ever see a blem orange going for a decent price and I have cash on hand, I'll totally nab it. Would match my band nicely, the other guitarist has the classic orange Gretsch thingie going on. Thoughts on the stock pickups, sir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The p90 gets nice and mellow creamy, and the VEH can get hot and dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody_in_MN Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I love the color on both really. GFS does a nice LP type now. I am really liking my new XV500. An averaged 4 paws up from Lamb Chop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
