New guy here and hooked on Gretsch!

[later_daze]

Hi all! I'm new here and a beginner guitarist but always new I wanted a Gretsch and now I've got one! My favorite Gretsch players are/were Brian Jones, Poison Ivy Rorschach, Michael Nesmith, Neil Young, Eddie Cochran, and the Jesus and Mary Chain to name a few.
Just thought I'd post a couple pics of my G2420T Gold Dust Streamliner. I've changed the acrylic knobs out to the chrome "G" knobs and I've ordered a cream colored pickguard to change out from the stock one. Anyway, I'm glad to be here!

Midway through the swap. Much nicer than the stock acrylic knobs IMO.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Great idea with the chrome knobs, did the same on my 2622. The chrome knobs have more style than the other ones, me thinks.
Enjoy your new GreTscH guitar. Surely there will be more quickly now that you've pulled the trigger

I'm curious what your ordered pick guard looks like. Please post photos if possible. Thanks in advance.

Congrats and welcome.

When the new pg arrives and you take off the old one, take a good, long look and see how much more gorgeous the guitar is without that hunk of plastic. Then decide whether you want to cover it up again.

Hi. How's it goin'?
Nice guitar you picked up there.
I'd stay with the tortoise guard myself, but you do you.
