As already mentioned, a German guitar with parts of various origins (United States, Canada, Japan). Quarter of a box with a central beam and Hearing in F. Semi Hollow Body Solid Semi so.
Microphones, side handle: 1 P90 and side bridge: 1 Humbucker says "Grand Vintage" Duesenberg.
The handle is a jamboree of absolute pitch a long, 22 frets like fender, for a game like Gibson ES 335.
Volume One, a tone, a selector 3 positions: 90 p, mixed, humbucker.
Vibrato Duensenberg whose action is similar to a Bigsby will say it. So the vintage style.
Mechanics reminiscent of Grover Imperial.
A look absolutely fabulous Gretsh Tenessian between Chet Atkins and Gibson ES 335

UTILIZATION

The handle is a delight, pulling even with a "serious", the 13/56 for me. Access to acute is very easy, given the guitar style, which, of course, is not a game for GTI. It is the spirit with all that this vintage has a fabulous and limited. Anyway, the ergonomics are excellent, the shape is quite similar to an ES 335 and the weight is ... Therefore. I recommend a good quality belt for live. We still tired after a while.

The sounds are ... a must in the genre. Pure Jazz hot desire, round, clear and bursting with sublime overtones and sustain a fantastic edge to rock or even rock cotemporain heavy and thick.
The settings are drastic and super easy. No sooner does one touches the knobs that you change the guitar. Gretsh between Gibson and ...

SOUNDS

Carl Carlton is the ideal component in a jazz, rock, post-rock or frankly rockab or swing. For the latest styles, be aware that it provides too, but probably is not she has a place in the contemporary styles of metal, though ...
I tried it on my Fender Vibrolux and Mesa Boogie tremoverb and it seems that we can cover a range of sounds really consistent. I have personally added a Vox Tonelab SE, a Expandora and a Big Muff. But even without effects, live jazz at stake in the Vibrolux ... A pure moment of happiness.
This guitar is a gem and the sound is above the level of the U.S., three to many times more ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for six months. I love absolutely everything about this guitar except its weight, but hey, this is common when it sounds like that. Finally even if it is not light ... I have tried many guitars over 20 years of practice and I found my happiness. I keep other guitars in addition to all the same, but at that price, I paid € 1100 on the net, it's just incredible.
This choice I would do again in a heartbeat and I certainly do it again to make sure a back up guitar for live. However it is of great strength and a flawless finish, delivered in cool flight.
