1967 Gretsch Clipper
New pickup ring, bone nut--will sell with Super Chet humbucker because the Hilotron is pretty thin jazz strength. It has all the OG wiring, so some slight crackles. I used an off brand (Woodcraft) cherry nitro to get a Chet Atkins look. Think cherry table or dark oak. I wish I'd had some more copper and cream to do a Gretsch bamboo stylee.
1962 Gretsch Bass
New snaps in back and pad, new thumb rest, bone nut, knob, and pickup. This thing sounds like a tube amp Dante's third ring! Suddenly reluctant to sell it. But it takes major finger strength. I still have some superglue to drop on binding cracks, and reinstall the mute. For today I am calling it done. Still getting used to floating bridges.
1965 Fender Jaguar
You don't see this, uh--EVAR, until today. Coppertone nitro (50s Tele) refinished vintage body and neck with new guts. The only other vintage parts are the tuners. This comes with full brass armor and has zero interference hum. I haven't played much with it yet, but the bridge pickup is raunchy. Wasn't going to keep this one either. Should not have listened to it. The copper is much more earthy looking than most Fender colors. Understated, but with a slight shimmer or spraklez.
