Gretsch!

Who has never rv (Good any, it is on, but ...)
C'tait for me the example of the brand inaccessible only feature pros and killers (Listen to Brian Setzer ...) and also a brand connotes trs, somewhat underground, in short, the opposite of Vigier's what! I know it's childish but sometimes the choice of a guitar is an act of intention. I say sometimes because I'm 37 and when j'tais teen, you know, when you play the tennis racket in the mirror with one eye on the post of guitarist Mick Jones or Cramps, the The Clash (not the other), a silent Gretsh a Cadillac, found something crazy, the Grail quoi.Aujourd 'Today I saw the Star Acc ... Anyway, enough mtaphysique!

UTILIZATION

So here's a Gretsch makes Taiwan.
Just this sentence would dye his computer a purist!
And the opposite is true.
For the price, compared to a amricaine 3000 euros, it comes out with flying colors.
This is the classic Gresth, we like it or not, with a pan shot 21 boxes not accessible trs APRS me the 17, a Bigsby vibrato, which serves as a "trmolo" (it's not a floyd pink!), an enjoyable round, a good finish, an easel tune'o'matic (since I saw a new series with a floating bridge made of wood and the finish had the worst air, there has probably Difference as lots ...) and the United States microphones Harmond single coils with adjustable height studs.
Color: Gold glitter! So many that do!

SOUNDS

I admit to have bought for the look, make, price, without even trying it!
No deception.Monte in 10-52, the clean sound is excellent, typical course, but full, rich and with the attack.
Perfect for a light amplifier.
Saturated in idem, to my surprise.Bien sr, beyond a threshold, began "Drooling" but fans sounds grimey and pais, you will be served.

In fact I use it on pieces trs DIFFERENT, with a versatility that I expected pas.Le choice of pickups and Tone SETTING THE enables large maps, it's really surprising!
Its got my default is common this type of guitar, it is not really ergonomic!
When the color, I can not get enough, but I understand this may be hsiter!
M'enfin even when a Gretsh golden straw! Friends mgalos shy or hidden at the bottom of the scne, you understand me!

OVERALL OPINION

Conclusion:

Try it, it works!
Report quality-pleasure-unbeatable price! But it's a Gretsch, it's like hutres, y'en who like it, yet it is an aphrodisiac!
I put a 9 with the reserve when the ergonomics of the case, otherwise, total bargain!

PS: I could compare with an old Gretsch team in singles (a corvette of 60 'to the guy APRS) and Electromatic not red!
