I've got a '61 Gretsch Anniversary that's been modded through the years to it's current format of three Dynasonic pickups. (What?!? Mel has a guitar with three pickups!?!?) Thought some here might be interested in this video I made running through the pickup selections:

Thank You for posting this ! You did a great job demonstrating (glad Duane can't be blamed) & the Ampeg Gemini 1 RULES ! I have a 1967 Gemini 1 & they have the "worlds best" Tremolo & Reverb (labeled "ECHO" on the chrome panel) !! These are "sleeper" amps & should be tracked down & obtained AT ALL COSTS. This move will not ever be a "regret" for ANYONE ! Ya' never forget your 1st gig: I had a Gemini 2 on stage w/me at the time (1965) & we surfed our way thru it with no problem !! (decieved at an early age ?). Thanks Again Mel, you're the most Meshuggah !! (The pickup's sound great as well) !!

Very cool, Mel! That thing truly sounds gorgeous! And so versatile! It's amazing what's happening these days with the increased video and audio quality becoming so much more accessible! Now if more legendary players like you filmed demos, we'd all be better for it! Thanks!

Wow!!! That guitar not only sounds great, but man! What a looker!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that Gretsch sound. But between those 3 pickups, you really caught a lot of sweet sounds. I'm genuinely amazed at the variety.
I got a Gretsch Pro Jet myself. Just got my T-Armond's in the mail and am trying to schedule some install time with a local tech. Hearing your T-Armonds makes me giddy with how much more improved my guitar will sound.
Thanks for posting!
