    Beautiful guitar!

    Gretsch G5126 Electromatic Hollow BodyPublished on 11/05/14 at 05:58
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    guitar made in Korea around 2003.

    3/4 box body.

    DeArmond pickups: This is a simple microphone to double format, but that does not sound like a P90 ... Tone close to a humbucker, but less "fat". different sound set super nice!

    Bigsby bridge

    Well finished guitar. the violin is in good order.

    I think the quality is frankly superior to current Gretsch Electromatic that are made in China.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is nice, well polish. Ile has no flaws, at least on mine.
    The guitar is balanced, the bulky body (normal, it's a 3/4 body) but that is what gives it its charm.

    The guitar is balanced, the bulky body (normal, it's a 3/4 body) but that is what gives it its charm.
    The guitar is lightweight thanks to hollow coprs.

    flaw, access to treble is not top. difficult to go up to the 17th box.

    I used to rock the blues, a little garage. it adapts perfectly to the Jazz also.

    SOUNDS

    The pickups are very well made, and react perfectly to overdrive, crunch, distortion and fuzz.
    The clean sounds are a little less convincing with the pickup, but great with the neck pickup.

    obtained very quickly by saturating big sound. this is far from the classic single coil sound.

    With the hollow box, it has larcens easily, so be careful what you're looking after.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 6 months, and I am fully satisfied with this guitar.

    it is of good quality, The pickups are fantastic, and she is very pretty.

    it was located in the vicinity of 600-700 euros used, but I think it is well worth the current Electromatics!

    The value for money is very correct.

    I remake that choice if I was looking for a guitar of this type.
