beautiful pair of Gretches. Love to own a vintage Viking or the like. Why the two toggle switches?

That would be the 58 model, one is the P/U selector and the other is the tone circuit. The knobs are all volume controls, the rear one's are for the P/U and the front is a master volume. Now if you think that is strange the 59 model next to it is nothing like you would imagine. It has you P/U selector on the upper bout like most but one of the knobs is for the tone circuit and the other knob next to it is volume only for the rear P/U. The front is a master volume . There is no separate volume for the front P/U. It is the model that Paul Yandell helped Gretsch with to copy Chet's 59 CG to be as close to in every respect as they could. The original is in the Country Music Hall Of Fame.

It has hit the point of tripping over things and lots of stubbed toes.

Las Vegas, here we come

Postby Desert Surfer » Fri Sep 20, 2013 3:36 pm

I am renting a Chevy Express to take these guitars / basses to my new home in Vegas on Sunday. It will be a long 1800 miles drive one way.

After I sold my house in Chicago and settle down in Vegas, I will take sometime to talk about my collection.

When I read the title I thought it meant photos of your band! :oops:

Vincent, I think that you will not be able to fit all of those guitars in the Chevy. I will be happy to hold some of them for you until you can find my new address, er... I mean come back to Chicago to get them. :roll:

Oh no! I did not even read the title and just followed the other guys doing. :oops:

Well, all my guitars / basses / amps did fit in the Chevy Express (plus a lot house junks)

It was quite scary driving in Denver mountain area. Beside pouring rain, snow, sleet and we were low on gas... :shock:

Thanks for your offer, all my girls arrived in one pieces. :D

Put 15 in my little music room. ;)
