There are some companies that make pickups specifically for resophonic guitars. These would better suit your instrument and be easier to install correctly. these pickups are meant for flattop guitars with a saddle slot.

B.Bob, I don't think this will work for you without some pretty serious modification. Depending upon whether the Gretsch uses a "spider" or a "biscuit". If it's a Spider, no feasible way. With a biscuit would be possible to slot the biscuit, then insert the piezo and the place a saddle over it. It would be a pretty labor intensive and difficult task. Not impossible, but I would probably look for other options. You might look at a "dot" style transducer that could be placed on the center of the cone. This would probably be a less expensive and easier option than going with a Fishman or L.R.Baggs, both of which are good but pricey.

i searched youtube and have seen numerous vids of how it looks/sounds.. its unbelievable actually, the pups are stock but sound pretty decent for the price, im thinking of ordering this to replicate the JEM7V ibanez

I wouldn't recommend it unless you know whether or not screwing the body will affect the sound in any way... My solution to this was to take a shoe string (matching the body so it's not as noticeable) and to tie it on the base of the headstock and through one end of the strap. It works perfectly well and doesn't involve mutilating your guitar, unless of course you know what you're doing, then disregard my message :)

Hi !Of course : all the humbuckers size the same dimension ; for the sound, it sound pretty good : I don't play metal nor hard rock, just blues and rock & jazz !... Good work ! :)

My thunderbird fits pretty well in here but it still has room for a bit more length. The 5 string should not be that much longer but if it is, it still has room for it. Also the space for the headstock is open enough to fit the extra tuning peg. I would say get this case if you're looking to fit your bass

Should work pretty well, I think, but I have not put one in a classical guitar myself. If you haven't already, be sure to measure the saddle slot to see whether you need the wide or narrow format.

I'm fairly certain it will not fit an AG95 or any other hollow body. I use it exclusively for strats - and it is tight. That snug fit is a good thing for my application but leaves no spare room for anything larger. BTW, it may also accommodate a Tele.

I have it on my Yamaha Stratoliner. Its ok. A bit low quality but acceptable for the price.

Yes there are several aftermarket sound hole and soundboard pick ups that I imagine would fit, but the way more important question is WHY would you want to amplify such an awful sounding instrument.

Looks exactly like the one I have. Don't remember the brand because it is a little all black bug. I use it on by Ibanez BTB 5 String, where it stays clamped on.Pretty small, almost invisible, works well tuning the upper four strings and a little bit lazy with the deep B. Gonna buy another for the other instruments I use.

I would suggest the EurekaPROM to go with it. Makes it function as a stompbox with native support for guitar VSTs like this.

What sort of guitar are you installing it on? Is it replacing an existing tremolo bridge? The reason I ask is because if you're installing the threaded inserts into a guitar that doesn't have them; it's a very precise location. Something best done with a drill press.

This is a great case first of all. I have an ibanez and a Peavey electric they fit easily. If yours is not too much thicker than a typical solid body it will work. Hope this helps.

It's a 12" radius, Gibson standard. I put it on a Gretsch with a 12.5" radius and it was fine.

If they do it is an easy installation, if not you can take them to your local music store and they will install them for you. It is TOTALLY worth it, whatever they charge. I put these on an Ibanez and it would stay in tune for days!

I just got one, and it fit my Fender Mando-strat just fine. Yes, it is a close fit, but you don't want it rattling around anyway...

The width of the case is 14", the depth of the lid which is what I think you're asking for is 1.125". Probably too low for your Gretsch.Elderly Instruments has a fine staff who can answer your question. You can find them on the web.
