Might also be of interest to our resident Bridge enthusiast Larry Mal since it's made in his home city St Louis and proudly says so in the post tops.

I was just noticing that! Seems to me that I had heard about that a little while ago. Looks like a nice bridge!

Sadly, if I owned a Gretsch of any quality, I have already decided on a Tru-Arc based on my research, but that other bridge might be worth a deeper look.

Happy bday and great guitar choice. I love White Penguins. Im not a fan of gold anywhere else, but on a White Penguin is a prerequisite..

Excellent use of an off-topic picture, would view again 9/10

Its....so beautiful

Gorgeous!!! I love it.

Well done! Happy birthday to you! I can also vouch for the quality of the Compton bridge as replacement for the stock bridge. You’ve got some great options if you like to tinker. I know I do!

thanks guys!!!

I am sure I will end up going down that bridge upgrade rabbit hole!!

Wow! A bit like the comment a few posts back, I normally don't like gold hardware either, but all reservations are cast aside for these and Falcons. A beautiful resonant Tru-arc or Compton would be the business if you choose to go in that direction (aesthetically as well) although the Space Control has a certain cool factor too IMO. Those Japanese Gretches are beautifully put together- my friend had a Tennessee Rose that was flawless in all ways.

I am blown away by it still...what a cool guitar...it still does the overtones behind the bridge like a Jazzmaster or Jaguar, but due to the chambered construction (I think 85% of it is hollow), they are way louder.

Very expressive and chimey sounds!

GOLD! Now he's in love with you He's in love with you!
