That's it manXcat!  Thanks for the links.


My original intent the day I bought the Gretsch was to pick up a Gisbson 335 or similar.  While running through the rack, that Aspen Green 5655 caught my eye so I pulled it down and feel in love with it.  Not the most expensive.  Not the best stock tuners.  Not snazzy at all.  Really just an entry level, kind of low end electric.  Of all the guitars I picked up that day though, I kept coming back to it.  Pretty light to hold - smaller body than I intended, but I guess the shop had it setup just right because it just really fit me well and sounded great.


My first Bigsby tail piece.  I haven't really done much with that yet, but I'll get to it.
