My somewhat restored 1964 Gretsch 6120. This beautiful guitar came to me modified with ugly, el-distorto humbuckers, gold curved-handle Bigsby, and cheapo late '60's Gretsch knobs. I put in reissue knobs and alnico magnet Filtertrons and a correct model Bigsby, all from Duke Kramer's D&F Products. The reissue cowboy case is from Duke, as well. Yee-haw!
I remember seeing an original (late-50's) single-cut 6120 for $1000 at a shop in the early-80's - wish that I could have afforded that one then.

A 1973 silverface Super Reverb which has been blackfaced inside and out. I think I goofed on the logo placement a bit. This is the amp reviewed in the Tone Quest Report in about June of 2001 - I bought it after the review was done. The repro faceplate is from Rodgers' Amps. The amp has 2 original CTS alnico's and 2 Weber C10Q's.

"5e3Pro". Tweed Deluxe circuit running 2 6L6's with beefed-up transformers and a solid-state rectifier. I'm now using a Weber Copper Cap 5U4 equivalent - sounds a bit better, and should extend tube life. It has a Weber Alnico California 15" speaker with paper dust dome in a Clark cab. I like the matching speaker and power transformer.

1951 Epi Zephyr Regent with hot rod paint job, P90, Bigsby and dice knobs. It came from Texas and was supposedly used in a beer ad in the early or mid '90's. Let me know if you ever saw the ad, or have a copy.
