I GOT MY GRETSCH!!!!!!!

I just won a 2005 Exc. cond. Hot Rd in Candy Apple Red w/TVJ Classics.. I've wanted this guitar for years now (either this one or an SSLVO), and I finally got it.

Not sure what the final price was tho... it said BIN was only $1300 with free shipping, but then it rang up $1400 + $40 shipping = $1440. Still a deal, but not sure what's up with that. The buyer has alot of sales & good feedback, so I'm not to worried about it.

I FINALLY GOT MY GRETSCH!!!!!!!

...and the volume mod/treble bleed is sitting right here waiitng for it...

Next up, a 6G6-B.

Boooooyaaaaaaaa!!
Man, I'm really jealous, I want a Gretsch really bad, but I also finally want a tube amp.
As I already own a pretty good guitar wirth my american standard strat I think a tube amp is the better choice right now.

They said they advertised the wrong price, it was $1400, but I did get free shipping. Still a smokin' deal!

My Ibanez AF75 will finally be retired... she's served me well for the last couple years, but ...

Ah-ah-aaaahm Movin' on uuuuu-up! I finally got a piece of the pie!!

Congratulations Ruger9. I hope you get many many years of enjoyment from it. There's nothing like the feeling of playing it for the first time.

Congrats, Ruger. Relative to your Hot Rod, my 5129 Electromatic is pretty far down the food chain, but I absolutely love it. I can only imagine how awesome yours will be!

Rock on,

Congratulations

Welcome to the wonderful world of Gretsch ownership - a word of warning - it becomes rather addictive

When you get it make sure to check the set up of the TV Classics using the guide on the TV Jones web-site - this will ensure you get the absolute best out of the pickups

The first time I played a Hot Rod I was struck by the thin body, as opposed to my '99 SSU. Those TV Jones Classics sound great through any effects pedal. The worst part is now - waiting for the damn thing to arrive! Congrats!
