What kind of rig were you playing through on this video?
Aah, I was hoping it felt wide like a Les paul neck.
I have 3 of the these gretsch guitars and absolutely love then!!
Awesome!!
Great playing, and great review! I just bought one after seeing this.
WEIGHT?
Makes sense that the neck feels "Fenderish". Fender manufacture all Gretsch guitars now. Gretsch does the marketing etc. It menas they have access to well built mass produced guitars. I have the 2013 version of this model. Plays brilliantly.
thank you, great review. just ordered the same
I've had mine for a couple of years and it really is a great sounding and playing guitar. I bought it for $449, but I've noticed they've gone up in price this year like most everything else. Great playing Andy!
I played this type of Gretsch at Guitar Center today. It surprised me. If you've got less than $600 to spend on an axe then give this a look
Lighter because it's basswood body and maple neck not mahogany like heavy epis?
When you began talking I was blown away that you had an English accent! I mean…when you play guitar, you can't tell, not one bit! ????
I was at my local guitar shop yesterday and played two Gretsch guitars. I'm a low action guy and holy crap both of these guitars were setup from the factory with 1.5mm string height! I swear to God…I actually bring a 6" steel ruler with me when I'm guitar shopping…I've bought too many pieces of shit with horrible bones that wouldn't allow under 2.5mm string height..junk.
is the length of the fret 25.5"
Under $500? Where?
VERY helpful, thanks for posting this! 🙂
Hi Andy, I 'm looking for the guitar lead for the "boys of summer" by Don Henley. Have you done a course on this one? Also, I have a gretsch electromatic large double cut in orange stain. It plays the same as my Tennesee Rose players series. The electromatics are great guitars.
i've had mine a while now, lovely guitar with no flaws at all in the finish. Great review and playing
0:00 song?
I bought one last summer in jade grey, and so far the worst thing that I can say about it is that the guy who set it up, did a lousy job. So now I have to take it somewhere else.
My darling wife bought this guitar for me….birthday gift. Love it. Thanks for a stellar review………stellar playing as well. Thanks again.
I wish guitar companies would not use China to build, I don't like buying anything from that country of corrupt bastards
I’ve become a really big Gretsch fan because of this guitar. Solid and great sound.
Beautiful guitar and it sounds awesome! I have one just like it on order. Fantastic playing too, great video!
Not a massive Gretsch fan but this thing sounds amazing and has swayed me a fair bit haha. awesome vid as always man.
This sounded so rad. Wow
Wow! This guitar looks so beautiful. And the sound is great. Hoping to hear covers/lessons with it on this Channel. All the best Andy!
