I need to state something that needs to be said, after reasing comment here from a year ago. The gretsch sound from AC/DC, is very, very clean. Malcolm young is the cleanest rhythm guitarist in the rock n roll business.
So whats the deal? Are more expensive Gretsch guitars made with these pickups? but the cheaper ones come with Gretsch made pickups or somethin? are these TV Jones pickups expensive? AND is there really any difference? can't really tell. I'm looking into buying a gretsch which is why i ask..
guys (and gals), remember the nickname for the pickups which come standard with the 5120... "mudbuckers". the TV Jones pickups ARE worth it for the sound difference. 'tis a no-brainer upgrade and will make a 5120 into a performance-level guitar no prob.
@nhojcam honestly dude, the stock pickups are not bad at all. i literally have a pair of TV Classics sitting on my desk to be installed... and the way my stock pickups sound i'm almost afraid to change them.
NOW: 2 admissions... 1, i've not heard the tv classics yet & they may blow the gretschbuckers away..
and 2, i'm playing through a pair of hand wired vox ac15s :-x
@MrBavelaar You can certainly get some good overdriven tones from the stock pickups, but they lack a bit of the clarity and brightness you would find in higher end Gretsch guitars. These pickups help bridge that gap, but this guitar still doesn't exactly match a 6120.
@pattyww was it a pain in the arse?...it kinda looks like it...can you tell a big difference between the stock and the tvs?...I am thinking about making the leap....
sweet sounds and playing man, I just swapped out the stocks for TV Classics and I've set them as recommended but don't you find that you end up pushing the 6th string onto the pole piece of the bridge pup a bit when your playing gets aggressive sometimes ? The strings are really close to the pole pieces , maybe I did something wrong ? I set the bridge pup @ 5/32 with open strings
I am wanting to buy either gretsch g5120 or g100ce. i am mostly an acoustic player, as in i dont even own an amp. hence i guess im looking for something with better unplugged sound. which would you recommend???
Yeah I think we all appreciate that you showed the potential that this great instrument and pickups can do. You had a little bit of everything from rockabilly and harder rock styles! Love the crunch it has and definitely a great instrument!
yeahh haha i find it impossible to find a gretsch video without someone playing sleepwalk or rockabilly on it. These guitar are so nice i dont like it when people short change it and only play a certain style on it.
Wow what a great improvement on the stock pick-ups! I think the stock P/U are too muddy. Did you notice a big difference with these new pick-ups? Also what TV P/U did you buy? Are they just called TV classic's? By the way nice playing!
@Thegodfather1233 It's a hollow-body electric, it plays louder than solid bodies unplugged, but not as loud as an actual acoustic. It doesn't have the same sound as an acoustic plugged in.
I'm torn: I really do like the guitar, but I get the impression that it's really "niche-y", in the sense that it's really only good for country stuff like bluegrass, etc. (the living end is basically just rockabilly mixed with pop punk) which is fine, except for the fact that I don't think that I'd play a lot of it. Could you maybe post a video showing some of the tonal possibilities?
@zannpaci Yep, I wish I had a good mic and could give a real representation of the live sounds, but unfortunately I don't. The laptop did the job though.
@pattyww is that the original bridge that is on there ? I couldn't really tell. I have a 5120 and I LOVE The guitar but i would really like to get a different bridge. Thanks
You lost me after :15, and at 1:32 the sound got even worse (didn't know that was possible). At 2:00 it seemed better, but then immediately went bad again.
Were this a TVJ demo, based on this, I certainly wouldn't want to purchase. Definitely not what I think of when GRETSCH is mentioned.
@636117 seems you have a pretty narrow-minded idea about how Gretsches are supposed to sound. Ever listen to AC/DC? Half of that's a Gretsch! Or Who's Next? Gretsch again!
@krettere Jesus and mary chain, the cure and stone roses use(d) gretches too. And killing joke with the gibson es295. "Rockabilly guitars" can do a lot more than rocabilly.
5120's are great ! I wanted to put in sme TV Jones as well, but after doing some adjustments on the Gretsch pickups it sounds great to me. It really made a difference to adjust the height of the pickupbody & poles. Comes damn close to the 6120 in my opinion.
Played one in Guitar Center. Great guitar! Doesn't have too much distortion to it, but it's a great Rockabilly/Country guitar! Love it! I'll probably buy it.
Great guitar! Which TV Jones pickups did you use - did you go for the TV classic plus in the bridge or stick with the standard classic bridge? Also did you upgrade anything else (aside from the pickguard) like the bigsby, wiring harness, machine heads etc?
Do the pickups stop that horrible electromatic feeback? And would you say your sound comes trough a live mix better? i'm considering doing the same. thanks
My G5120 is pretty good as far as feedback... So it's hard to tell. As far as the live mix, I haven't played live in a while and I didn't own this guitar back when I did, but the clarity of these pickups are phenomenal...
Whoa, That bridge pup tone is absolutely KILLER!!! You got some awesome tone there, and ya sold me on which pup to slap in my chambered body git-fiddle bridge pos. Thanx, Rock-on!
Nice vid and feedback on how you modified the guitar.Thanks for posting. I want to do the same. Did you replace the mounting shims with mouse pad material and mount the TV jones pickups by screwing it into the material. (Like it shows in the tech vid at the TV Jones website)? Is that how you get around the problem with the screw alignment for the new pickups not matching the existing holes? Or were you able to drill new holes with out making one big hole?
Due to the mounting of the stock pickups, there aren't any mounting shims.... The EM-2 is designed so that the pickup is suspended under the pickup rings by two screws that screw into little feet that have been added on the pickup. Because of this, I had to widen the cavity. The new holes in the top of the guitar are to house the traditional filtertron pickup rings.
Its a model of a Roland JC-120 (Chris Cheney used one way back in the day). I'm plugged into my computer and running Line 6 Gearbox. I also use a Maxon OD-9 for drive.
Hey.. I just bought a 5120 and would love to put the TV Jones pickups in it. Are they pop in replacements or do you have to do any modifications to the guitar to make them fit?
You need to order the TV Jones in either the EM-2 English Mount (like I have) or in the TV Tron mount. With the English Mount you get the classic Filtertron look, but you have to put new holes in the top of the guitar and file or route the pickup cavity to make them fit. The TV Tron mount doesn't look nearly as good, but its a simpler modification.
hey man, i have the same guitar and i think you've convinced me to change the stock pick ups to tv jones, what was the cost of the mod, nice riffs there too man, love the living end!
In total: 2 TV Classics, Wiring Harness, Switch Tip, New Pickgaurd (Bought Separately), Shipping and International Fees = about $600 CAD. The International Fees were the killer, I paid about $110 just to have them brought into the country... I wish I had known before.
for true gretsch addicts a 5120 or 6120 must be orange like the cochran guitar, setzer guitar, harrison guitar, Atkins guitar and all of the others artist who have popularised this gem.
I've got this guitar to, i think you have the ultimate gretsch sound. I like the sound with an acoustic modulator very much. But i really like the living end songs you've played! i'm gonna see them friday in Amsterdam :D But great playing, keep rockin!
i'm sorry i'm not into the rockability stuff I was always a les paul player but man near the end of the vid with the gain up a bit that was some of the best tone i've ever heard. How much gain can the tv jones handle?
Love the bridge pup on clean. Was thinking of getting one, was wondering about the floating bridge. Its one of the only things putting me off at the moment
Did you have to mess with the height of the classics? I have the 5120 as well and want to swap in the tv jones as well. I just sold my setzer hot rod with the same p/u's in it like an idiot....if I can add the locking tuners i can get fairly close to the same guitar
Funny that you mention How Do We Know, because I have been planning on doing in for a long time and have never gotten around to it. I do have an octave pedal, its not very good, but it should work for HDWK. I just need time to do it...
Shut your dick mouth, trainmaster. He did it to show us how badass it sounds, and for the record, his playing was damn good. What the hell does the speed of chord changes have anything to do with his demonstration? Answer that question and maybe grow the hell up while you're at it, you elitist prick.
I have been considering modding my g5120 for the last several months but I really don't know where to start. I know I want to change the pickups but from what you've seen with yours what else do you recommend or have you already done to your gretsch? I'm thinking changing the tuners as well... Great vid.
Thanks :) Im soon getting a transparent overdrive to get that sound since the overdrive channel of my amp, even if at very low gain already gives too much distorted tone and make my 5120 sound crappy... GJ man, Long live rock 'n' roll
that sounds smoking hot...im waiting to install a powertron bridge and a classic neck in a homemade custom,and i hope it sounds this good.thanks for the sample.
I think the dislikes are from people who don't watch until the Living End parts start..

Did you have to mess with the height of the classics? I have the 5120 as well and want to swap in the tv jones as well. I just sold my setzer hot rod with the same p/u's in it like an idiot....if I can add the locking tuners i can get fairly close to the same guitar

I fitted them to the height TV Jones recommends on the website. Not sure off the top of my head...

lol no you get your ass over to australia lol. Hey you should do a cover of how do we know. Do you have an octave pedal?
Buddha117 2 years ago
Someday, I will be in Australia....
Funny that you mention How Do We Know, because I have been planning on doing in for a long time and have never gotten around to it. I do have an octave pedal, its not very good, but it should work for HDWK. I just need time to do it...

it wasint that cool because you were not changing chords that fast

Shut your dick mouth, trainmaster. He did it to show us how badass it sounds, and for the record, his playing was damn good. What the hell does the speed of chord changes have anything to do with his demonstration? Answer that question and maybe grow the hell up while you're at it, you elitist prick.

I have been considering modding my g5120 for the last several months but I really don't know where to start. I know I want to change the pickups but from what you've seen with yours what else do you recommend or have you already done to your gretsch? I'm thinking changing the tuners as well... Great vid.

I have a question, how did u get that rockabilly sound at around 2:20? Is it just delay?
L0ngLiveRnR 3 years ago
Slight bit of overdrive, plus a bit of slapback delay...

Thanks :) Im soon getting a transparent overdrive to get that sound since the overdrive channel of my amp, even if at very low gain already gives too much distorted tone and make my 5120 sound crappy... GJ man, Long live rock 'n' roll

Those Tv jones pickups are just amazing.. they can really transform the 5120 into a 1000€ guitar...

Hey if thats a G5120 than where'd you get the pick guard did you customize it your self?
chrismiw 3 years ago
I ordered a standard 6120 pickguard off the internet, then spaced the pickups accordingly, and drilled new holes so that it would fit.

1:02-1:30 is All Torn Down by The Living End, and 0:43-1:00 is Wake Up by The Living End.

What are you playing between 2:00 - 2:27? I recognize it but can't place it anywhere.

It starts out as just a finger picking pattern in E, then eventually goes to a Mystery Train-ish pattern.
pattyww 3 years ago
Where did ya get the pick guard? Your guitar looks GREAT with the gold pick guard and mounting rings!
