Hello, you really play great. I just bought the Gretsch G5120, but I noticed at the neck pickup (PU) is twice as loud as the bridge PU. I tried lowering the neck PU and rasing the Bridge PU. But, there is very little movement. I even raised the string screws on the bridge PU - no change. What do you recommend? If I put on new pick ups, what brand name, and will it fit existing pickup screw holes.
The coolest thing is the safety orange finish - you can take it hunting, direct traffic, or guide planes to runways with this thing, and not worrying about an accident.
Ive got this same guitar i love it so much. But can someone tell me some better pickups i can put in it?? the stock humbuckers seem realy lo fi 2 me i want more sound with my picking ,some people are saying the tv jones are not much better,
I replaced my 5120 pups for some hot wound nashvilles retrotron from gfs they are up their with the filtertrons on my falcon maybe better at a fraction of the cost and a straight swap for the stock pups.
All the pickups need is a little adjustment. If you find the right spot ( to your ears) no need to get the TV Jones. Have a look at the forum on Gretschpages. Some nice tips there regarding adjusting your pickups.
@ZenZombie007 interestingly, Gretsch is owned by Fender (FMIC). Were you looking at a Tele or strat? Make sure you play them first, this one feels a lot different to those guitars to play, but you can't go wrong with any of them. Great demo.

Dammit. I was all set to go out and buy a Fender, I watch this, and now my plans have been shot all to hell. Looks like I'm gettin' a Gretsch.
Well done, sir.

@ZenZombie007 You can't go wrong with Fender. This is a truly amazing guitar, though/

Amazing Guitars but the price is a littlebit high because its a gretsch ;-)
But the most guitars that are good are also expensive, who cares.
I Love to buy expensive Guitars in a cheap store like Bassline, its the best shop in switzerland.
Schöns ding :-)
Bassline chani numä empfälä wär amä nä angere ort ichouft isch säuber tschud.
