Bigass orange Gretsch … NBD

I’d been looking at the G5123B since the original short run appeared almost a dozen years ago. They were never sold here in Canada.I recently came across a photo , showed it to Herself , and she said that I really should get one.
So I went looking.

I actually found three , two in California , one close to Boston. And snagged the one by Boston.

So now after years of looking at them , I have one. And love it. The bridge is set about 1/3 into the body , so they’re big. And deep. And orange. The kind of orange only Gretsch could do. The neck is substantial. Medium scale. TV Jones pickups. More volume knobs than anyone could imagine. I love it.

quick video goofing around , didn’t spin any knobs or flick the switch , so both pickups , all the way up , tone slightly rolled back , thumb and fingers , some nail , just using the IPad mic , poor wardrobe choice , and just goofing around in Dm , the saddest of keys.
