"Pick of the Day" - 1955 Gretsch Jet Firebird and 1960s Gibson GA5 T Skylark

It's been a while since our very busy tech Tyler Geske has done a Pick of the Day, and he's back today with another awesome Gretsch! A 1955 Gretsch 6131 Jet Firebird in excellent condition - just a few screws and a pickup lead have been replaced. The finish has aged to a cool red that is darker than most of this age, and the DeArmond Dynasonic pickups are killer! We paired it up today with a funky little Gibson GA5-T combo amp that we just got into the shop!

That tailpiece is so cool. I really dig it.

Yeh. I am a huge fan of Dynasonics. I will gladly pay you Tuesday, for this JetBird today ...

Amazing sounding guitar, loved the playing!

The Firebird Red looks wonderful with a black pickguard!

[@theamateurfurry4735]

That’s a classic country combo if ever I’ve heard one!

lol I love how you just sarcastically talk shit about the amp you're trying to sell

Cool guitar. Like it a lot.
The board is astounishingly light- almost looks like granadillo- as does the panel on the amp.
Loved the playing too. Great video, man.
Cheers
