I like it and I normally find Gretsch guitars to be goofy looking(in a bad way), with a few exceptions.

One dude in MD kept dropping the price over the past year in his online shop on Gbase, yet the image was "hiding" behind that of a standard green G6196TR, so I have a feeling few actually saw it and was in quiet pursuit the way I was slobbering/ogling at it from across the Great Plains Pacific. Snagged it up quickly when it dropped another $150 and started dipping under $2k.

And when the Jaded music video came out (dang, something like already 15 years ago now?), I remember seeing Joe Perry's studio shots with his Falcon shot with the fisheye lens and it looked dreadfully uncomfortable/impractical. However, the equal dimensions of the G6196's 2.75" thick body doesn't feel overly fat of anything like an acoustic boat of a guitar, and although it may incur Georgehaet for the 17" bout and other factors, the whole package is nothing to frown upon, the Hofner 500/1 I'm getting rid of right now being curiously way more cumbersome due to the smaller body that is nothing but FAT with my right wrist either getting bruised up or the arm itself looking for a place to rest. The somewhat rare and intentionally-jazz-oriented MIK G3110 from a while back is the other Jazzy guitar to contras in size, being an otherwise unsual 3" x 16" body that has a comparatively fatter/boxier feel as well, and the tall wooden bridge makes the strings sail high above the top. But I digress...

The other thing is that the laminated spruce top, dynasonics, and 25.5" scale makes the G6196TSP-2G a really fun jazzbox as well, and with the more mellow pure nickel strings on it right now the brighter snap of the single coils mated to the higher string tension from the longer scale gets calmed a bit and sets the overall tone in a nicely warm zone. Of course Mr. Koch can make anything sing/pluck/spank, but for the most part far I'm not twanging as nearly as brightly as he is on the Wildwood clip...Which I'm fine with

Nice selection, sir. What model is the LP?

'09 Gibson Les Paul Traditionnal Gold Top

It's amazing, for a Les Paul, and for a Gibson. I kept it full stock, it sounds and plays great.

Thanks for all the Harmony love. It's an attention getter.

Same, probably hopefully as a White Falcon bass. It's in the realm of "Not Happening", but one can dream.

ILF Brethren!
Here's an old pic of my two basses.

On the left is an Korean Thunderbird, it's my main practice bass. It's served me well but I feel ready to upgrade. On the right is an Epiphone Jack Casady. I have a thing for hollowbody instruments and the colour black. This is my gigging/jam bass. Smaller neck by a fraction than the Tbird but it feels faster and more nimble. The Varitone control works great for taming feedback or instantly getting snarly. I have the pickguard off b/c the tan/nude/sand colour is ugly. I don't feel like buying a different pickguard yet too. If I had the money I'd instantly find a white one and put an old mudbucker at the neck.

That's a nice DuoJet - humpblock inlays and the larger headstock look great. Every so often I think I wouldn't mind an orange Anniverary (6119 single pickup), or a Falcon, but to be honest the G6128 is all I need from Gretsch. It just does everything.
