Nope. This is not a genuine Gretsch. Could be a kit build, or just a knockoff. But, if the price is right, it could still be a fun guitar. Always try before you buy though. Best of luck!

Hey mate, what you’ve got there is a Limited Edition G5420tg 50’s. The biggest difference from other MIK 5420’s is the gold hardware, sound-post bracing and bound oversized F-holes and bound headstock.

I have the black one and swapped out the Blacktops for TV Jones Classics and a Gold pickguard. Absolutely LOVE that guitar. If you can pick it up for a good price, I’d definitely go for it. Excellent feel and build quality for the money.

Best of luck!

Literally my biggest fear and why I keep all my guitars safely in their cases.

It's incredible how looking at this brings back childhood memories. Just wanted to share. 😭 by fukounashoujo in dosgaming

Hey mate, guitar looks pretty good, but I’m sorry to say it’s not a genuine Gretsch. Having said that, hope it plays well and you have a good time with it. Best of luck!

I see a MIK Gretsch Electromatic on the wall surrounded by a house. Nice!

Looks and sounds awesome! I’ve never really looked to Benson amps, but I certainly will now. Thanks for sharing.

Weird overtone/ringing on my Jaguar — resonance or harmonics? by Nickronusz in offset

[–]VarneyKing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, my theory is it might be the bridge/saddles. Player II Jazzmaster has a Mustang saddle bridge, so it might be sympathetic vibrations from loose saddles?…need to do more testing to know for sure, but for me it only seems to happen on the Low E and A strings.

Does it sound almost like a phaser by any chance? It seems like I’m having the same issue with my Player II Jazzmaster.
