I still have yet to get that strap sent! Sorry, ABS! Seems I'm as bad as Nick about getting to the post office.

I have it packaged and sitting in the truck and swear I'll get it sent off 1st thing Monday!

Congrats, ABS. A big orange Gretsch hollowbody is a beautiful thing.

Quick tip... keep a capo handy when it's time to restring that Bigsby. It's not fun when the ball end of the string keeps slipping off because it's not under pressure. A doorstop works well, too.

I change the strings on mine 2 at a time for just that reason. Gretsch has a few videos on their site, worth a peek.

Thanks all,
I am really lucky to have such an amazing wife who tolerates and encourages my hacking away. She really is a gem and spoils me far more than I deserve.
