Thanks Paolo! No amp, just straight into the mixer. Those old pickups and the nickel bullets strings. I also have drilled-out mahogany blocks beneath the bridge inside the guitar. The neck pickup is lowered down level with the top of the guitar. Gives that nice hollow vintage old-time "AM radio" sound. I also have a Gibson tune-o-matic bridge installed for more precise intonation setting instead of the original Gretsch bar bridge.
@@paolospadaro I dont know Paolo. This is the first time in over 10 years i think I have played this guitar. I guess will have to plug it in and see how it sounds thru the Peavy Delta Blues amp. I used to play it long ago thru a Gretsch column amp, then later I had a Fender Princeton. It sounded pretty clean thru the Princeton. The Gretsch amp was not a good amp, had a bad sound I thought, no matter what guitar was plugged into it.
Yes drilled out mahogany blocks, an old Dan Erlewine trick. I may have a photo of it somewhere, what I did inside. And I cut out notches in the parallel braces inside and the bottom of the neck pickup to lower it. That was over 20 years ago, I've forgotten what I did exactly now.
Great playing. Thanks for making the video. Chet would be proud.
