I have a Silvertone [1446] Chris Isaak model, and that sounds fantastic. Mini humbuckers are such a weird thing to me. They’re all over the map: Some of them are just phenomenal sounding and other times they just don’t work.

"I would hit so hard that i would knock the bridge out, so eventually i had it pinned, which, these actually are pinned now. IT was one of the first things that attracted me to the Players Edition"

I have friends who are Gretsch aficionados, and it seems that ’58 is the year to have. It was the first year of the Filter’Tron, and those are the shit. I have three ’58s, all in the Chet line: a 6120 [Chet Atkins Hollowbody], a 6119 [Chet Atkins Tennessean] and a 6122 [Chet Atkins Country Gentleman].
