    Where can you get a template for a Bass VI or EB-6 (SG shape) body?

    The pickup holes need to be routed so the pups can sit flush and neck joint is routed at an odd angle so no matter what you do you can't get rid of buzz pass the 9th fret because the neck stick out creating a lip so the neck isn't straight. Also I read somewhere that the body is actually plywood...

    Don't buy Gretsch. Unless you are handy with power tools and can correct all the messed up routing.

    Well I will most likely buy one no matter what headstock is on there but considering that most people GAS over the original VI it would be nice if it looked as close as legally possibly to it. But that being said I hope the Agile VI has the body shape of the SJM because it looks Fender inspired...

    No I had to send it back three times until I got the one I have now. It played wonderfully at first but now I see it was a lemon in disguise. I think I read on here somewhere that the body is plywood and from what I can tell it is. The pup holes are very ragged. Had I know it was like this I...

    Any one having trouble with their Gretsch Jet VI? I swear after the third month of owning mine the action is crazy high and buzzes all over. Its has been setup but still crazy high action and buzz. And the more I deal with this instrument I see how poorly made it really was. Bridge that rocks...

    Bump! Hello I purchased a Gretsch Jet Baritone but I am having bad luck with them I am about to return the replacement to the first one which was a dud. Just out of curiosity those of you who went the USACG way about how much did it cost you to do it yourself?
