OMG, I've never even seen one of those before. I love it. Could you even get any more jangley?

I think I want another Gretsch, but a thinner bodied one than the 5120 I had, and with filtertrons and bigsby, what are my options for affordable (sub 2k) guitars?

Seems like there's quite a few thin Gretsches for sub 2k. Single cut, double cut, whatever.

They have the broadtron pickups in them which are just humbuckers :-( I want the proper deal :-)

You could grab a set of TV Jones Classics or something and still be under $2K

Yeah might be over investing though, would prefer secondhand if possible…
