About Brian's Personal Gretsch Hotrods!!!

"Brian's Gretsches have Gibson Abr-1 Tune-O-Matic bridges fitted with

drilled-out aluminum saddles. It's a great setup.

The saddles move around freely in the Abr-1 design, which helps prevent

binding with the Bigsby, and the aluminum adds a nice ring and enhances resanance."

"Brian's Hotrods all have the new TV Jones Patent-Applied-For Filter 'Trons.

I gave one of my original '59 Filter 'Trons to Tom (a.k.a. TV Jones),

and he send it out to have the materials analyzed.

Now he's able to make exact replicas of Filter 'Trons with the

correct magnets and brass covers."

Setzer's Gretsches are superbly set up and sport beautiful fretwork,

courtesy of Jones, who installs the dunlop 6105 fret wire.

"Tom trims the fret height down a bit, and gives the frets a triangular crowning and nice,

bulbous ends".

"We use .010-.046 D'Addario string, and every other string change I touch-up

the saddles and nut slots with very fine emery cloth to eliminate burrs.

Then I finish off by putting a tiny amount of a graphite/oil mixture into the nut

and bridge slots. That helps a lot with a Bigsby, as do the locking Sperzel tuners,

which also improve the tone by adding mass to the headstock."
