Un-shiny my 6120?

[oldguy]

Hi, I'm oldguy. I bought a new Vintage Select '59 6120 in 2017.To my taste, the orange is too dark, and it's too glossy looking. Gretsch has since come out with better looking 6120's. Lighter, way less gloss, older, cooler looking. Wondering if it's possible to get mine to look like that. Or if it makes sense to get rid of this one and get a newer one. Thanks in advance.

oh, by the way, hello everybody!

You have to be very specific as to why you like the new ones better. Could you modify yours to where you could like it as much as the new?

But modifying anything about a 6120 is probably a mistake financially. The value would usually drop, depending on what you do.
Probably better off selling yours and buying the other.

Yep,sell and buy the new one i'd say.

Oh,and welcome aboard!

Welcome, @oldguy! What the other have said - buy the one you like, sell the one you don't.
