GRETSCH G5260 Baritone / F# - FRACTAL FM3 / FM9 / AXE FX3 @paulbradshawguitar

Uploaded May 2024 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

NGD for me this week with a lovely Gretsch G5260 electromatic jet baritone , we're tuned in F# , let's see how we put together or set up a @fractalaudiosystems preset with these lower tunings in mind, along the lines of Loathe etc..

--Scroll down for the preset download link on my ko-fi page

For a very cool review , check out @AdamCampbell-Train video here:

This is the model released I believe maybe 2 years ago , stock strings
14-72 - Tuned here in F# standard (it comes in A standard from the factory)

Only mods are I took the pick guard off for looks, and raised the pickups slightly with some DIY shims (thanks mousepad =) and slightly raised the polepieces as well to help with clarity

A really cool guitar in any case, quite unique tones for lower tunings with the lower output mini humbucker pickups

$My most EXPENSIVE budget guitar (was it worth it?) Heres my Vintage v52 Icon telecaster, a 240 odd euro guitar I bought used at the time in which I easily put over double that amount in upgrades in List of mods: Neck Refret Haussel TE-Broad Bridge pickup Haussel TE-Broad Neck pickup Dynaguide string tree TUSQ Nut PIO 0.01uf cap and professional setups I tried other pickups over the years as well (Dimarzio twang king in the bridge for example) which all add up to the cost, but no regrets =) For me the Haussel pickups really brought the best out of the guitar, which already sounded great off the bat, various upgrades can make all the difference, the TUSQ nut here especially when i had it changed was huge, and more recently the refret transformed the instrument Joao Godinho - Luxembourg luthier https://www.joaogodinhoguitars.com/ All tones are from my core tones fractal audio preset , video below https://youtu.be/fbRbRTB2NBA link to the preset in my downloads below: ►►► All my Fractal audio presets 🎸: https://ko-fi.com/s/5a6542f393 ►►► Buy me a coffee ☕: https://ko-fi.com/paulbradshawguitar ►►► All my links 🎧: https://linktr.ee/paulbradshawguitar TIME STAMPS 00:00 Intro - TONE playing with slight Overdrive 01:31 What were doing today 02:20 TONE more playing with slight Overdrive 02:52 The backstory 04:49 TONE Plexi tones 06:25 TONE Trying an Extreme riff =) 06:45 Neck pickup + 4 way selector switch 07:16 TONE playing with both pickups in series 07:52 The Refret , relicing on the guitar 09:41 TONE modern hi gain 10:50 Outro Mods galore #telecaster #fractalaudio #tone$

$Better Clean tones with High output pickups - Fractal Axe Fx 3 / FM3 / FM9 Some ideas on how to best shape and control the sound of your high output pickups, to get nicer clean tones this is done on the @fractalaudiosystems FM3 , but can certainly be applied to other modellers (Line 6 Helix, Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Fender Tonemaster, Boss GT series, Mooer, Nux, etc..) Preset within my usual downloads below thanks to @LeonTodd for the Humbucker to SC PEQ settings in his block library I didnt showcase it here, but a variant of that is used in one of the scenes of the preset Guitar used: Ibanez RGDIX6PB Haussel Tozz B XL in the bridge evertune retrofit ►►► All my Fractal audio presets 🎸: https://ko-fi.com/s/5a6542f393 ►►► Buy me a coffee ☕: https://ko-fi.com/paulbradshawguitar ►►► All my links 🎧: https://linktr.ee/paulbradshawguitar TIME STAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:42 Stating the obvious 01:23 Quick picking comparisons 02:04 One of the difficulties 02:50 The Thought process 03:35 The crux of the idea 04:24 PEQ settings suggestion 1 05:28 NORMALISED comparison 05:55 Adding a compressor 07:38 Adding Delays / Reverb 08:04 TONE delay and verb 08:31 TONE No Amp + No Cab version 09:09 Difference in setup for no amp + no cab 09:30 Quick word on pickups 10:10 Final Thoughts #guitar #guitarist #fractalaudio #metal #metalguitar #tutorial #tutorials #walkthrough #tone #how #howto$
