Malcolm Young: einer der besten Gitaristen aller Zeiten
On this little ball made of dirt and water floating through the cosmos I'm glad to share the same time with acdc and that ladies and gentlemen is pure luck
The riff master Rip Malcolm
I'm so thankful that we had great music in my life . As I tip in my mid 60s I still shake my ass to my favorite group!
he's got the beat in your gut in 1 second! sweet touch- for sure.
Malcolm Young war ein großartiger Gitarrist
Malcom Young Gitarrist bei AC/DC gestorben am 18.11.2017
Like always Malcom
Was hammering 😊😊
Really cool video and conversion, man. Rock on!
Thanks!
Mal was a steam train
The pulse of Rock & Roll
Awesome! I had one of those G5222s. Shocking quality & QC.
Modern Gretsch guitars are really great, but once you grab 60's/70s original Gretsch you can feel a big difference: vintage Gretsch guitars had awesome neck, amazing sound and playability. I got vintage Gretsch G7594 White Falcon II and the difference is HUGE but with a few upgrades my G5222 MY sounds pretty good, close to the original Gretsch guitars.
In my opinion, modern Gretsch guitars especially Electromatic series should be upgraded:
- replace BlackTop FilterTrons pickups with Gretsch FilterTron HS (U.S. PAT 2892371)/SoloDallas SD63/SD71/TV Jones pickups
- replace Bigsby vibrato with the high-end Bigsby replica/original (vintage)
- replace locking tuners
Bon playing the bagpipes
Bello.😭
Nice work. I had a 5222 and wanted to turn it into a "beast" but I felt there were too many differences that can't be over come, such as the zero fret and the height of the neck off the body etc. So I bought the G6131MY and wow what a guitar it is!!
Thanks mate!
As I've mentioned, a G5222 has a completely different geometry compared to a G6131/G6128. And you're very right about the neck and its construction.
I've got a G6131T '62, and I can share the same thoughts about the guitar. However, I'd like to replace the TV Jones pickups with either some vintage ones or a SoloDallas SDF76 pickup. The stock TV Jones pickups on a G6131 '62/G6131 MY sound too "meaty".
Obrigada pela excelente música maravilhosa os meus parabéns muito obrigada
😈😈😈❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 muzika a kapela všech dob
Hi, very accurate conversion, just add the zero fret and its perfect!
(Can't find this Burns vibrato anywhere !!)
Glad you like it!

But keep in mind, you have to have some works on a Burns vibrato.
I've seen an original on Reverb, they were asking nearly £400 for it!
@@tonytrotter2708 I once played an original '60s Gretsch with the Burns vibrato, and I wouldn't say they are great. Maybe it depends on the guitar, but it was always out of tune.
Great! What about sound? Possible to have a vid? Merci!
Thanks!
Yep, I'm gonna do some video soon
hey dev could you please send me the link to where you bought the burns vibrato tailpiece? Thanks
Hey! You can find it here: aliexpress.ru/store/3663018
Dream guitar............workhorse eddition...!!!................one to have,,,today's deals,,,,are tomorrows bargain..😯😯
doing this too. but dont think base for bridge will work. also looking inside - there's no block under burns. screwing into top - ok - or did you add blocking down there. thx for your help
See it depends, but yes I had to screw the bridge into the top. A Gretsch G5222 has a completely different geometry compared to a vintage G6131.
Surprisingly overlooked guitarist on those "best guitarists" lists
I have been looking everywhere for those steel plugs mal used to fill the switch holes. Do you know what size they are? How did you get them in?
Oh yeah mate. I really struggled with them. I'll measure the steel plugs and text you. I found them in some eBay marketplace, but I can't find them now... they don't exist anymore
@@curious_techie I have seen them in kitchen and bathroom hardware supply shops in the UK
hey, did that bridge just drop right in? I have a similar jet and was thinking bout replacing bridge. thanks.
Hey!
No it didn't.
If you wanna replace the original bridge you have to do a lot of tests: not at all bridge will fit in and you can probably lose sustain...
how did you removed the stoptail screw holes?
I filled the holes with a piece of wood
a '67 JTM 45/100 helps =|
Too bad you didn't want us to actually read any of that
Oh...how original...
ok
sorry not to much disrespect to Malcolm he was great and we luv are acdc but it would of been a long way to the top to match Jimmie page or Clapton or beck
Nah he’s better than those pretentious riff stealers
Malcolm was a Rhythm guitarist, and he was prob one of the best to do that
I'd easily put Mal above Clapton and Page, Clapton stole just about everything he every played and page as good as he was was a very sloppy player, when it comes to precision Mal was on top bar nobody. The absolute best of all time with no competition.
