Do you have a picture of it, ive never seen that particular kind of guitar
before, i am very interested in coil tapping, i have a gretsch with
humbuckers, and i love the guitar but cant play surf on the humbuckers. that
leaves me with either coil tapping or replacing the pick ups with the
tv-jones hi-Lo tron pick ups, that the gretsch company is re-issuing for
thier newer guitars.
