ledzeffer Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Just saw the post on Instagram of that natural 555 with bigsby. Wow what a looker. Anybody know if they are going to offer them as a standard model? Sorry I didn't post pics but couldn't remember the rules of posting pics from another site?

skydog52 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 That's from the Custom Shop. It's a Beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyGrass Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Now that's fancy. The chrome, extra binding and block inlays are classy. Here's one from the same factory from 1982 a friend of mine just got today. Similar but somewhat different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Daniel, knowing what beautiful guitars you have, that's a real compliment. I swapped out the gold for nickel as I wanted to make it just that little bit unique, also putting the more standard bridge in - it's a great guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It's great to see H-555's being custom ordered. I can't wait to get my 2007 back to work again doing what its made for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one of your beautiful guitars, you and I think the same - the less gold the better.I would love a Gretsch but I've been out of work since las November. One of these days I will find one I like and put the money down. Thanks for the nice words about my 555. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
