if Bong can talk about his favorite instrument, then so can I. I've had my Gretsch 6120 (see Eddie Cochran, Brian Setzer for reference) for about three years now and was just moderately happy with it. I wasn't stoked about the way that it played or how it sounded for the longest time. It's kind of an expensive guitar and it was my dream guitar for so long that I didn't want to give up on it. I recently replaced the pickups with TV Jones pickups (the same kind that Setzer plays with) and had the whole thing set up professionally. It's now the best guitar that I have ever played. It sings and growls and just f*ckin' rocks. I think it's time to start my rockabilly band back up.

Let me hear your stories about guitars. Also, I went to the NAMM show on Sunday in Anaheim and was too late to get the Fender and Gretsch catalogs. If anybody else went and grabbed extras, I'd be super stoked to get a hold of them. Thanks.
