All is said and down ...
Small flat for mechanics. I found a little bottle but race is long which gives more precise tuning.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, wide and not too épaix a good grip. The access is acute is very good (even better than on a violin ;-).
Form Les Paul, a true beauty, a gem! She throws donf.
His weight is still a good result but it's not a classic either. (Then it makes muscles lol)
The Bigsby is a joy on its own. It does not Disagree guitar, it is flexible, does not break the ropes. His race is against shorter than traditional vibrato but it's still a pleasure
The knobs: is simple volume and tone ...

SOUNDS

Haaaaa sound! I play with a Vox, the mixture of the two is pure happiness. From clean living, clean and hot, very hot, a disto Devil ideal for good rock and not the british.
I finally found a soul mate of my amp!
The three positions are usable frankly unlike some other guitars.
The original pickups are good (at least that's my opinion) obviously can be better but why ... To me they suit me perfectly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for only a week ... I'm in love ...
What I like most is the look, the Bigsby, his presence (I bow GRETSCH)
Okay it's "low end" home gretsch but it's worth ten times more than the premium Stagg, Jack & Danny or other brands can. I own a Cort S2800 (High-end of this trademark) bein frankly there's no comparing 100x better I prefer my new toy.
What I like least is heuuuuu ... The original strings, I prefer the elixir ;-)
The quality / price is more than adequate around € 650 in Belgium but only 450 or musicstorekoeln Thomann ... A skyscraper of this quality at this price you honestly will not regret it!

Edit 31/10/07:

!! Warning!!

After 3 weeks of use, the strings E, A and D have started curling between the 5th and 8th box! I went to a luthier who assured me an irreparable fault in the handle ... The galley! Yesterday I went to so MusicStore in Cologne (where I bought it) to their maker delivered the same diagnosis! Guitar in the trash, they happily exchanged it to me! And guess what? The new frieze too, but much less, I'll see what happens after a trimming p'tit ...

Before buying this guitar, make sure ALL the frets and sound.
I know it's not easy when you order by the net! Frankly better to pay a little more and buy a "real" store ...
