Similar, but not identical, to the original
This is a very nice case, based on the grey speckle cases Gretsch used in the 50's and 60's. The pattern on the tolex is similar to the one found on vintage cases, but not exactly so--the pattern on the vintage cases was much bolder and less subtle. On this case, it is like the little "pebbles" in the tolex have a light dusting of colour on them.
It is a TKL case, and I'm sure you could find a plain black one (without the Gretsch badge) that would protect your guitar as well, and cost much less.
But... it is a pretty case and is well-built.

Authentic-sounding JM pick-up
I bought these to replace the stock pickups in the new 2017 American Professional Jazzmaster by Fender, which are a "modern" pickup and a bit too strat-ish for my tastes. I looked at Duncan Antiquities, but these pickups were much cheaper, and they sound very good. The Vintage 65 Jazzmaster pickup is the pickup that is included in the AVRI series Fender Jazzmasters if you need a reference.
