Some of you may have seen this, but I thought it's worth posting...

Look down the forum for a picture of the Artcore, then listen to the sound clip.

Yes indeed. Retrotrons are the way to go. I put a set of Liverpools in my as73 and have been quite pleased ever since.

Now I just need to find some knobs that are THAT stylin'!

Good stuff.

Nice to see that Artcores are rated high at Gretsch site

Love it! Great look, and very tasteful playing, nicely done :-) Those are the GFS retros? What is a retrotron anyway? A humbucker? A single coil? I put vintage vibe P-90's in my Artcore, AK85. Never heard of retrotrons before you!

Retrotrons are a series of "vintage style" pickups made by GFS (Guitar Fetish Somethingerother) Read all about 'em here: http://store.guitarfetish.com/vintagestyle.html

As you'll see there, they've got single coils and humbuckers loosely based on Gretsch filtertrons and DeArmond style pickups as well.

Overall, pretty decent stuff for a low, low price.

When I got my AS103NT, it had retrotrons in it, and they sounded good. But I pulled them in favor of a couple of old Super 70's and like the tone much better.
