I dig it!

 

[grover]

Took me a while to make up my mind. The first view of it is rather shocking. But seeing it lying in the case makes it look really cool. I Love Gretches and have a 5120 with TV jones pick-ups which make it roar. Soooo After going back and forth on this a bit the final decision for me is I MUST HAVE IT!

 

[Muppet]

I love this. I own an orange 5120, and thought about having it pinstriped, but I changed my mind and left it alone. This however, I would rock the shit out of.

I normally love Gretsches, but this particular one is fugly for a couple of reasons:

• The fretboard looks more like balsa wood than redwood -- I've never seen an uglier one
• The colors chosen for the pinstriping are garish and hideous
• The pinstriping is excessive and ends up just looking messy to me
• I just don't like black for Gretsches -- prefer any other color they come in, but when they're black, they just look huge and gross.

I saw one in red with the pinstriping in yellow. I didn't care for that one, but this one I like a lot, and I usually don't like black because the finish shows every single finger print and smudge.

Too overdone for my tastes.

Yes, that was me.

I would love that minus the pinstripes....

They should paint a picture of a stripper on the lower back of that guitar.

That would be ironic, doncha think?

It's OK, but it won't make me get rid of my Country Club!

I'll take one in orange please. No pin stripes.

I have an orange one without pinstripes. Like grover, mine has TV Joneses.

I don't get pinstripes on guitars.

Even being a rockabilly cat, i'm not hip to pin striping in this style, which seems to be all the rage. I hate that.

Its that tribal style. I, too, prefer the old school on a gretsch. Save this for the bc rich.

You're right, it kinda do have a "tribal" flair to it. And that's what pinstriping is to the world now. I prefer more simple accent lines, such as

I like the paint it made take another look

 

[LeftyTom]

The finisk on the back looks a bit mundane compared to the front.

I dig it but at the same time, I'd never do it the rockabilly justice it deserves. Now the pinstriped Tele posted is another story.
