That's a very classy looking guitar! Bet it sounds even better than it looks!
That is one sweet looking AxeView attachment 55104 View attachment 55105 View attachment 55106 Cadillac Green. First of the breed for me. Sounds great. Unlike some other Gretsch models , it’s thin and more comfortable.
That’s really a great idea I will definitely remember that one.You might find that changing the strings is a royal pain. I finally figured out an easy way to get the job done. I put the string on the Bigsby post and then pull it tight. I then use a capo to hold the string against the neck. This maintains enough tension to keep the string on the Bigsby post. Now with both of my hands free I can secure the string to the machine head. Easy peezy.
