No, they really do remove the finish with sandpaper and other tools and methods. The thing that amuses me is that they don't seem to 'relic' it in the places where it would usually naturally get worn so you can spot it's fake.
How much!?!? :eek:
As much as I like Gretsch guitars, & particularly the G6120 range, this is bit silly money for a replica
Converts to approximately £19,200

A splendidly chosen number for the run, as Setzers primary guitar was a '59 model, for a lot of years

Mike Dirnt roadworn signature bass ordered. Thought I'd treat myself, a reward for being so awesome.

To add my 2p: even as a pub musician, I'd use a nice bass. No point in having just for home noodling. Also why I don't have a lot of them. Two is a bit of a nuisance, space wise.

a friend of mine told me he had 14 basses and i asked how he decided which one to take to a gig. His reply... the cheapest

I choose my live rig in the basis of weight, feel, user friendliness and tone. Fortunately it's a £400 Sire Marcus Miller Pbass. My backup live plank is a £105 Harley Benton with Warman pickup, Wilko tuners and CTS pots and loom.

For a couple of years before the demise of the Rock 'n' Roll Outlaws, until I bought the Squier CV P, I had just the one. Even my normal penchant for backup didn't bother me. So about seven years with just one.

I've so far managed stick to only having one... one classical, one steel string, one twelve string, one electric and one bass :unsure:

But now i've decided l like making them, I'm going to have to break the 'only one' rule

And it sounds soooo ballsy.

Only fault - G is cut a little short, not enough around the capstan so when it tunes ro about F or F#, just short of G it starts to slip and detunes. At first I thought it was a duff tuner, but sussed it in the end. Anderton's are sending me whole new set of strings, so that's a result.
