What Malcolm's Gretsch used to look like

Just for grins, here is what Malcolm's 1963 Gretsch Jet Firebird looked like before he started removing pickups, removing switches, adding 3 chrome dome studs over the switches holes, sanding it down, taking off the Burns Vibrato, adding Badass adjustable wraparound bridge, refinishing with nitrocellulose clear lacquer, putting plastic over the pickup cavities, removing plastic and putting socks in pickup cavities, removing the socks from the 2 front pickup cavities leaving them open, then finally removing the Badass bridge and putting the original Burns Vibrato and Gretsch roller bridge back on.
