A 5122 Transformed

A simple 5122 is transformed by luthier & craftsman Paul Setzer, into something more than when it left the factory.

@TheDuster88 Mine was made by luthier Paul Setzer, who did the work on this one for me. We're both members of the GDP. Just google Gretsch Discussion Pages, and join up. His name there is Setzer. I don't know how much he sells them for, but they're excellent.

Good luck, and thanks for the nice words.

@offspringj1 what makes you say that? the guitar was won, so it didn't cost me anything, and it's now got everything I'd want from a "real" CG (including 2 tone mods CGs don't have).

Great work, but your time and labor is worth money, you could have just bought a Country Gentleman and in the end had a guitar that had resale value. In the end, this is still just an Electromatic.

@AmitBuium Thanks very much. Goerge was the king of slide, and these 2 songs really show off his playing the best, I think. Not too many people are familiar with either tune, so it's great to meet/find someone someone else who is.
