How to change gretsch guitar pickups?
Premier guitar interview page 1

needed to change pickups on my gretsch guitar should i do this my self and is it save or is there a place i can take it to have them changed


If you need to ask the question, then my answer is that you shouldn't do it yourself.

Savannah Folk Music Society honors Fred, Dinah Gretsch

Fred and Dinah Gretsch, owners of the Pooler, Georgia-based Gretsch Co., were surprised with a special presentation by the Savannah Folk Music Society this past July 2 at Savannah's First Presbyterian Church.

At a regular meeting of the Society's "First Friday For Folk Music," Fred and Dinah received a portrait of themselves that was specially commissioned by the Society. The portrait was created by Savannah artist Sandy Branam.

Society president Hank Weisman comments, "We've enjoyed a terrific relationship with Fred and Dinah Gretsch over the past eight years. Through their Gretsch Foundation they've been tremendously supportive of the Society's programs. This includes the donation of guitars for our 'Guitar Art' program, in which local artists custom-decorate instruments that are then auctioned to raise funds. Other donated guitars are signed by major artists. All of these guitars are auctioned at the annual Savannah Folk Music Festival, which takes place each October. Over the past eight years the donations made by the Gretsch Foundation have generated more than $40,000 in supporting funds.
