Hey guys I'm interested in buying the Gretsch G6131MYII Malcolm Young Signature Jet and I need decent size pics of Mal's Gretsch to see what I would need to do to the guitar to make it exactly like Mal's. I haven't had much luck finding any pics of Mal never mind his guitar. BTW, a pic of the back of the guitar would be a huge help because IDK how he fit an extra switch in there.

Here's some links to a close up picture. This one has one pickup I think. Here's a video that shows the very same gretch when it was red, before he striped it down to the color it is now. Hope this help's

Kinte: His current one is the same as his original, he just modded the hell out of it. Livewire: Yeah but Mal's used to have three pickups so the routes from the other pickups are still there and he has many more switches than the one pickup model. I'm interested in the two pickup model because it's closer to Mal's although it's still quite inaccurate. Jesse: Those are some good pics, thanks!

Angus used the stock Gibson PUPs that came on his SGs until the current tour when he had Seymour Duncan make his PUPs. Mal, I assume, uses the same Filtertron that came stock in his Gretsch.
