My drum set color is called "cherry burst". It's just a classic. I've been playing instruments for 25+ years. I play drums, guitar and bass mainly. I'm mainly into rock and jazz. Some of my major inf…

Have been playing my Renown Maple for about 18 months and gigging regularly 2-3 times a week. The Blue Burst finish is fantastic. It generally gets commented on along with the drum sound. Sizes…

Primarily a singer, I've been playing guitar for about 10 years, been in a band (drummer!), and have continued to record and play with other musicians on a non-professional basis. My styles range fro…

I'm 52 and have been playing drums off and on since I was 10. My first set was a Slingerland Radio King, and like a first love it holds a special place in my heart. In my career I have played rock…

I have only just started learning guitar over the last 3 months by teaching myself at the moment. I purchased this guitar originally because it was different to most others around with its Bigsby Tr…

I love to play Beatles stuff and this is my first hollowbody guitar. I had narrowed it down to the Gretsch or the Casino. Went with the Gretsch. More versitle than the Casino and it has the Bigsby. W…

Walked into guitar shop and saw this baby looking at me like a puppy pleading me to take it home. Loved the tobacco sunburst, the dark brown tortoise pick guard, the thumbnail fret inlay, the gold tu…

Why I bought it ??? Really, I don't know why! I have a Gibson Lucille and the varitone easily makes a very believable Gretch sound. I bought it at a shop that was blowing them out. The selling pri…

Purchased at Guitar Center for $270 on clearance. I was looking for a lower priced hollow body, but they didn't have the Ibanez artcore I wanted to try out. I couldn't believe the price on this gui…
