Thanks y'all! Been giving her lots of love. The pickups sound great and they're very different from each other and what I already had in other guitars. The neck pickup is quite subdued in a good way and the bridge pickup is twangy and peaky. Sounds amazing with overdrive from my Fulltone OCD. Very chunky. I will experiment more with my King Of Tone soon since that's bound to be interesting as well.
Beautiful! Dig the Bigsby. Hey, let's start a Gretsch members club!
I love my "V-Stoptail" G2622:
Sweet! Did you specifically go for the center block version? Do you intend to change the pickups? I didn't want anything specific, I just figured this was by far the best I could get my hands on so I went with it. I wasn't sure about the Bigsby at first, but after some graphite rubbing it's quite stable and a little less laborious than the Floyd Rose on my PRS. Very different of course, but they're still both trem systems!

We should definitely start an owners club. I know Lieven would be thrilled as well.

Almost cried when I saw your beautiful new addition. I had one just like this an sold it when I moved countries. Always regretted it. Hope you love her 

You never stop learning
It's always sad to have to let go of an instrument you love. That's why I only ever sold one, which was a bass I picked up in an auction but didn't particularly care for. I sold it to finance the G&L Tribute L-2000 bass I really, really wanted, now have and love.
