All user reviews for the Gretsch G5236T Pro Jet w/Bigsby

Chinese, 2 humbuckers stamped "Gretsch" Tune-o-matic and Bigsby licensed tremolo, you can not really talk about because low-amplitude vibrato.
selector, 1 volume, 1 tone, can not be simpler. Fits me nickel.
Mahogany set neck as the body with maple table probably.

UTILIZATION

Handle large and comfortable access to acute right up to the 15th box
a little heavy, it's the price of sustain, but still lighter and better balanced than a Les Paul.
one branch is selected and the microphones are played, the sound is there.
qqes little problems keeping agree, but I just saw on a forum that is necessary to lubricate the nut is bone (?)

SOUNDS

I do not play as your fingers and it sounds like half a box! it's fun to jazz with this offbeat look, but it really does, warmth and sustain to the appointment. This is the first guitar that I use the tone knob on virtually its entire run, so it is progressive. We are far from pseudo knobs that stifle the sound as soon as you touch them ...
very English rock pickup, treble open, it is a bit nasal, but I repeat myself, it was a real tone control. neck pickup softer than fat (grade). the intermediate position supports the neck pickup while it is down to the bottom of his smashes, but the sound is good for rhythm if you do not press too, because it is not widened. Fingers to play, it's really ideal. I still tried to pick, I found it more confusing, but again this is not my thing

OVERALL OPINION

I bought used a half-rotten body which shall remain nameless (hint: it starts by Pe and it ends up vey) the sheet metal worker refused to take me and asked me to choose another instrument. I tried this one out of curiosity without imagining that I will leave with. I was hooked immediately.
I would not have this look kitsch in another situation (silver finish ... you still have to pay)
I think a tool should appeal right away, if not going your way ...
