I had a 64 Tennesean some time ago which had similar problems but of course
I never tried the heavy 13-56 gauge. That does make sense though and Brian
Setzer doesn't really seem to be overcautious when hitting his guitar so
there must be a way.
Actually I have regretted selling that guitar for ages, it was in the super
strat days where it made sense to have one (very expensive) guitar that
could do it all. That of course turned out to be an impossible mission and
today I have quite a few guitars but no Gretsch at the moment.
