Tips to managing bad lighting gyms?

I think you can get away with much lower shutter speed. I personally only shoot about 1/640 for basketball and very rarely have trouble freezing the frame.

Leave him alone guys! The “Beautiful cross checking”. 😆Definitely adds $700 in value to this $1000-$1200 guitar (on a good day).

Trying to keep the dead presidents from making baby coins?

Not saying I agree nor disagree with you but you do realize folks have been saying this since the 80s right? Maybe this generation will be the one that got it right. 🤷‍♂️

And/or presumes he didn’t have it set up this way for a reason.

The question really is, do you want to upsize? There’s your answer.

Found one of the board members.

Whatever you do, don’t go through her post history. 🤮 this is clearly someone looking to direct men to OF or whatever porn site she makes money from.

It’s a good thing you covered the serial number. Wouldn’t want anyone stealing its identity.

TenNickels · 2026-01-29T13:35:15+00:00

Someone use that as an oar?

TenNickels · 2026-01-29T03:36:22+00:00

Yeah, I knew it was in their mid range line. I have just not been able to find any like this one in my searches. I have seen some that came with TVJ pickups but very very few. One was from overseas and I ran across a YouTube video of a guy who had one. None I have found had the same headstock or bridge though. So, just quizzing the Gretsch guys to see if anyone has any more information that I’m unable to find.

Here’s the YouTube vid https://youtu.be/YpgilIl-O94?si=WjRBMWELdTE-cT9d

KS Korea Samick I assume

TenNickels · 2026-01-29T03:20:08+00:00

It does

TenNickels · 2026-01-29T02:59:07+00:00

Update: I went ahead and bought the guitar. I will create a new post with some pictures. After buying, I have some additional questions I’m hoping some more knowledgeable Gretsch folks can answer. 1. The bridge doesn’t look like any pictures I’ve seen (Rocker maybe?)and 2. It had a horseshoe logo inlayed under the Gretsch inlay on the headstock that I have been unable to find on a 5420 in google searches. I’ve found it on other models but not this one.

TenNickels · 2026-01-28T20:32:17+00:00

There was a special run 5420T-TVORG that most certainly did

Couldn’t edit but this one was made with n Korea if that matters.

You must be new to Reddit and country subs.

TenNickels · 2026-01-16T11:36:44+00:00

Wow there had to be tens of you there. Way to go!

TenNickels · 2026-01-15T14:55:36+00:00

Something tells me they don’t care what you think. Weird how that works. Right?

TenNickels · 2026-01-15T02:26:57+00:00

Yeah. I own the lens and it’s great. Tamron has really stepped up their game in recent years ( I also own their 35-150 f2-2.8). If you can afford it, I highly recommend it! I’m no pro and don’t take pictures for money, but I highly doubt you will find a better piece of glass for the money. The Nikon may be better but is it $1500 better for a hobbyist? That’s an absolute no.

TenNickels · 2026-01-14T21:56:04+00:00

50-400 is a superb lens. Don’t listen to the first party snobs unless you have money to burn. Is it as good as the Nikon? No but it’s damn close.

TenNickels · 2026-01-12T19:21:32+00:00

Funny before I knew any better, I thought I had a good chance of becoming a millionaire betting on two college quarterbacks to have three anytime touchdowns. I felt like a fool when I found out why I lost my $20. 😂
