How can i make my guitar look like brians?

THis is the guitar im getting in about a month, is there a site i can go to to get stickers etc and the trademark dice?

Dice Knobs, TV Jones pickups, take of the plexi gaurd. There are people on this site who have done that to the 5120 that can probably help you more.

For the stickers you could just print your own out on sticker paper, or I think there was a guy (sorry can't remember his name) who actually sold the stickers.. maybe chuck it around a bit to get that vintage look


Kid.

Setzerino,

My friend purchased dice knobs from this website. He searched the web and found this site to have the best price.

As far as decals go, try this site:

http://stores.ebay.com/Natures-Miracle-Minerals

She has some great designs and will even do custom work. These are waterslide decals and go on very easy. They won't damage your guitar. See my avtar pic for an example. I also believe someone posted a link before for the exact decals from Brian's guitar. It escapes me at the moment, but when I find it I'll post it.

Good luck with your new Gretsch!

Steve

Cheers for the help guys.

Want the original stickers?

Drop him a line....

Kind of like mine. I changed the pickups becasue the TV Jones sound like a million times bettter thatn the 5120 ones. TV jones are the best pickups. ands yea i did the dice cause it looks liek brians and is badass too. I just drilled them out and made then a tight fit. i love mine.

FH Jack, there was a Mustang car show our dealership today and a Highboy custom with a flathead v-8 showed up, man, it was sweet! Them pancakes was chromed and everthing!

Gotta love that old iron, man.

Yea Eddie Man FLATHEADS FOREVER!!! like my bealt buckle and the title of my bands new EP.....

Paul Setzer can make you a new costom pick-gard, You find him here www.gretschpages.com

I'd like to get the "pinstripes" from Brian's Black Gretsch. My hands start to shake when I do painting like that

Depends how far you want to go - I decided to do the whole relic job on a second hand 1960 6120 reissue. Got the stickers from e-bay and the dice from the Gretsch website (don't think they sell them anymore though). Posted some pics on a previous topic.

Im thinking of changing the pick guard, does anyone know if the guard thats on the nashville (the one with brians signature) is available to buy?

Try this! http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/pickguard_gretsch.htm
If they don´t have it in stock, drop them a mail.

But be aware: the Nashville Pickguards wil not fit to the standard Electromatic humbucker size.
