Northwest Vintage Guitars brings you a honey of a Tennessee Rose. Not just any Tennessee Rose, this is the 1962HT with the venerable TV Jones Hilo' Tron pickups and all of the Gretsch toggle switching and knob turning glory. Gretsch says they designed this for tone and slick, comfortable playing feel and we gotta tell you - they ticked all the boxes on this one.
The TV Jones Hilo'Tron pickups are incredible with a wide tone and lively response that brings forth the natural sound of the instrument itself. They are very interactive and dynamic pickups. It's no wonder there are so many manufacturers putting these in their factory runs.
You get 22 frets on a 12" radius and Gretsch's U neck. The neck depth tallies .85"-.95" with a very vintage feel that all tracks with the 1.65" nut. The frets exhibit very little playwear and have a whole life ahead. This may have been a wall hanger trophy with so little use. We gave her a fresh set of nickel 10-46, intonated it as well as you can with a bar bridge, and ensured the Bigsby did what a Bigsby does to add that shimmer. 16" across the bout, 2" thick, 7.2 well balanced pounds, and includes the original Gretsch hardshell case. A complete package.
