Tennessean wiring schematic?
I have a 1953 Tennessean that I've hade sence new. I have had it to the factory to be re-built once and then just this last month I desided to renew the volum pots. In dismantling and changing out the pots, some of the solder connections became dislodged and I havent found the right hook-up to be able to restore them to their right connections. I need a shematic that will tell me where each wire end should go. So far, I've had to dismantel and try to 'trial-and-error' their hook-up. It isn't working.
Anybody know where I could find a wireing chaematic.

electromatic
I recently picked up a gretch electromatic and noticed that there is no visable serial #. The guitar plays like butta though, and holds a tune well, better than the ephipone l.p. custom flame-top I just brought recently! Can anyone tell me where I can get any info as to what wood it is made of, or when it was made, ect. thank you,
Scott
Re: electromatic
:I have a Gretch Eletromatic and it also plays as good as my Fender USA telecaster deluxe plus and Fender USA Stratocaster. It cost me about the same as a Mexican Strat. I have dated it to 2004 by using the no,s on the headstoke, ignoring the first couple of digits which I think are production batch and model identity.
My model seems to be one of the uncataloged type refered to on the Gretch Electromatic info pages, I think it is a copy of the (duojet) firebird but in a cadilac green. It has a bigsby fitted with gold furnishings. I dont know what type of wood was used in your guitar as I can see no picture of it but mine is of hollow mahogany and is still a heavy beast with incredible sustain. I use it for all kinds if music from country to beatles who used gretch duo jets) right up to guns and roses type Blah Blah!.
I get incredible sounds at high volumes and use my Marshall amp to control the tones.
For a cheaper end guitar you cant expect to get the quality of tone of the £2,000 guitars but the Chinese who are now making them do a rucking good job. The overall finish of my guitar is 100%, the sustain is around 90%, Tone 100% but the best thing of all is that I can twiddle lead like the devil on the reduced fingerboard scale, where I would be struggling on the tele or strat so anything like stairway to heaven or gary moores I remember Paris is always played on this fast becoming favourate guitar. I have even had thoughts of selling the strat and tele and getting a Brian Seltzer or similar model

Good Gretsch Appraisals
I've found that Guitar Heaven in Pawtucket, RI is really helpful with instant Gretsch appraisal. I've got a lot of vintage stuff and those people have always given me a fast answer and really good, fast service in buying and selling. I don't have their phone # handy right now as I am in the UK. They are on the net, I'm sure, because they used the net to sell stuff for me when I lived near them.

: I bought a used Gretsch 711 Songbird many years ago and never saw one either before or since. I really know nothing about it does anyone have any information about the history of this unit.
I had one for many years. I gave it to a friend who then sold it for about 1/10 of its true value!!! These were originally made for Sam Goody Stores, that's why they have "G" holes instead of the standard "F" holes. Only 50 were made.
Re: Gretsch 711 songbird
: I bought a used Gretsch 711 Songbird many years ago and never saw one either before or since. I really know nothing about it does anyone have any information about the history of this unit.
It was made for "Sam Goody" music stores. Hence the "g" shaped holes in the guitar. I know someone who purchased one in the late sixties.

Model # 7609, What's it Called ?
I have a Gretch model # 7609, Ser# 4-8103. It is a double cutaway with one three way switch on the top cutaway, master volume on the bottom and volume and tone for each pickup below the stud mounted single-piece tailpiece. The body is about 1 5/8 inches thick, arched top, semi hollow, orange color, with a black pickguard. I'd like to know what the name is, year,what pickups it came with,and any other info. The 2 humbuckers aren't original( I don't think Gretch would cover the wire splices with masking tape, what a moron huh?). Thanks very much.
Re: Model # 7609, What's it Called ?
I think its a 78 broadkaster. gretchpages.com has a history section with catalogs from 1978...it shows an exact picture of the one I have. EXCEPT its red instead of orange

Broadkaster mar "78" japan made, I have one.
Re: Model # 7609, Orange Gretsch es335 STYLE
I have encountered one for sale. Condition: poor. Anyone know it's value. Two Humbuckers; skirted and ridged tone and volume knobs do not appear original. Neck seems "thru", however, small plastic plate at neck/body joint concealing a truss adjustment? Very curious.
Re: Model # 7609, Orange Gretsch es335 STYLE
That would be a Broadkaster. The knobs are black plastic with numbers on them, correct?

: : I'd like any info on a Gretch Diamond Anniversary guitar model#6125 ser#10241. Primarily age and original price.
Hi. I just looked at a model #6124 today. According to Gruhn's Guide To Vintage Guitars,this model should be a 1962,based on the color and seriel number. However,it is stated in the guide that Gretch seriel numbers are not very reliable. It lists your model(#6125) as being a smoke green color,but the seriel number doesn;t match other information given. It states that the Anniversary model was manufactured from 1958 through 1970. Your number indicates that it was made in 1954. See what they mean about seriel numbers? If what I looked at today is truly a '62,one might suspect your's may be a '63. Maybe. The one I looked at was also a single pickup,and the picture in the book of the pickup (a G with an arrow through it) indicates what they call a low end model. I have no information on price. I hope this info helps and doesn't confuse the issue! Good luck,Mark.
