Gretsh meeting in Korea, U.S. components (pickups, Bigsby), 22 frets, single coil pickups ...

UTILIZATION

Ben Gretsh what!
Access to the bottom of the handle not very easy (12 th cargo it gets a little clumsy) but hey, who cares to do the solos we Vanhalen eh! ;)
... Should not you then buy a Jackson!
The handle is very nice, but needs a little time to adapt to the neo-users, it is rather "picked up" short, so at the same time fast enough ... It is very nice ... a real ice rink!
The guitar is very light for my taste and has the "great Gretsch sound"!
Wonderful, especially when you consider the price!

SOUNDS

So there ... The heavy!
I see almost no difference with an American!
Truly stunning!
As listed on the previous opinion: A CADILLAC!
Sounds gretsh typed (it will appeal not necessarily for everyone), but my god, this guitar sounds great!
WAW!

Small update: I certainly acknowledge that he fell on having bcp GOOD luck, because having tried other guitars of the same model, mine sounds particularly well (even if others are not shovels either eh!)!
The important thing is that it is well settled, especially in terms of harmonics etc ... If you are not familiar settings, make him a ride in the luthier)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 months ... Nothing to say.
Then even if it sounded less, I would have bought anyway (c con but it's true)
It is super fun! ...
Frankly as much (at the risk of sounding like a moron for some), the detail that cracked me right away; THE LOOK: The gold glitter on it really, a bit "too much" but j'adooooore! !
But that does not detract from the charm of a femme fatale, is that this has almost all the scratching sound qualities I was looking for in addition to being beautiful!
If you still hesitate, then you're crazy or not at all rock'n'roll! ;)
COURRE JEWELRY BUY THIS !!!... or at least try, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

I note that I own high-end guitars, including Gretsch ... My enthusiasm is also due to the fact that this instrument is available in budget
It takes more than the road from her sisters in 3000 Euros (yes).
So if you want a hollow body of this type, and your budget is limited, I highly recommend this model ... I have tried other brands in same price, there is no comparison. Even equipped with double Electromatic did not convince me.
