DrGonzo Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Now i tested the pickups. You can get everything from clean, thick Surf sound to the crunch of Brian Setzer or New York Dolls. Distorted they sound like Neil Youngs craziest Horse. Even at HiGain settings they stay nuanced, thight bass, wonderful mids and soft high end. Fantastic pickups for a semi-hollow.

gypsyseven Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 But i would also like to know what amp and pedals, if so he´s using in the video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Seven Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Looks great! I put Surf 90's in my Gretsch G5120, and love them! First pic is with the stock "Gretschbuckers" - way too muddy. 2nd and 3rd pics are with the Surf 90's - much, much better!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrGonzo Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 But i would also like to know what amp and pedals, if so he´s using in the video... It's said in the Video: "Played clean through 18 Watt Marshall Class A Combo and Vox Blue Combo, Shure SM 57 Mic." So i think the cleaner parts are Marshall and the little Blue Vox (4 Watts) is the cranked sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
