Is it
this? Great band BTW & lovely guitars - but I'll stick with my
mine
yes and no
it is the guitar the reverend is playing in the picture with the single coil gretsch pickups, but not the one in the publicity photo with the tv jones humbuckers
the single coil gretsch pickup has less gain and is used on some gretsch guitars and most gretsch electromatic guitars
the tv jones humbucker is the choice of brian setzer and has some serious firepower and while it's the ultimate rockabilly pickup, the tv jones humbucker can even be used for hard rock
your guitar, while a lot different than the nashville gretsch, is a great instrument in its own right and certainly a collector's piece since they only made that model for one year
i had a les paul custom, but it was a 1980 cherry sunburst and was never a collector's piece in any way...but a 1968 les paul custom, once overlooked, is now a true collector's piece
the 1950s les paul customs, perhaps the best years of that model, are far too expensive for most people to afford
