1969 Gretsch Country Gentleman - Quick and Dirty Demo

Unfortunately this one was on the selling block (and sold in a day), so I loaded a quick demo with a crappy point and shoot cam just to prove it worked - sorry for the low quality! Just a quick run through it clean, then some delay and chorus, back to clean for the strums, and then a boost and finally a fuzz face grind.

What do those top two switches do?

[Jahnli]

@efarmer385 One switch is for pickup selection and functions like the usual three-way selector. The other switch is the master tone control. This is a unique three position switch that yields three distinct sounds. Position one is medium level with a high frequency roll off. Position two switches the pickups out of phase and wide open. Position three produces a slight level, with a high frequency roll off. The result is Gretschs’ unique sound.

what amp are you using?

[Jahnli]

@SenorHammyHams it's a 60s blackface Fender Pro Reverb.

@Jahnli Weird I've always known tone controls to be dials. Thanks for the response. I've been gassing over this guitar all day haha.
