Designed for none other than Rancid founder Tim Armstrong, the Gretsch G5191BK Tim Armstrong Electromatic Hollowbody fuses the elements of Rancid's unique sound and visual sensibilities with Gretsch's iconic retro design. Featuring a hollow body construction and dual Black Top Filtertron pickups, the G5191BK is equally at home in a variety of contexts, whether a low key jazz gig or a DIY punk show. Other notable features include Grover tuners, Adjusto-Matic bridge, and gold-plating throughout.
This particular example has had some upgrades and changes including all new USA-spec CTS pots, Switchcraft toggle switch and wiring, as well as new gold speed-knobs and it is currently setup with Thomastik Jazz Flats and sounds very very good!
