The only one so far is to change the pickguard to a Chet Atkins Tennessee Rose pickguard from after Chet's estate resigned with Gretsch. Will get a Chet Arm and a Stainless Tru-Arc but haven't gotten around to it yet..

I had a Tennessean back in the '60s and loved it. Finally got around to replacing it by winning an eBay auction on my birthday last year, 45 years after I sold the other one. I've played others from the current era and have been underwhelmed. This one, however, is great!!!
