This is a true Gretsch manufactured in Korea from 1998 to 2002.  This is the Malcolm Young model in natural maple color.

- Mahogany body
- Maple top
- 22 frets maple neck bolted
- Grover Tuners
- Wraparound Badass bridge
- 2 micros Gretsch Electromatic full-size (since changed, see below)
- Config knobs similar to his model: a volume neck, volume bridge 1, 1 master volume, a microphone 3-position switch, 1 tone 3-position switch.

UTILIZATION

The finish is average. The frets are poorly finished with cuffs and tend to hang: necessary correction!

It is a bit hard to play because of the imbalance between the head and body.

SOUNDS

The pickups are a pleasant surprise: good fishing and good grain typed Gretsch.

After some time the difference with a "real" Grestch appeared to me too much. So I bought a Filtertron Grestch and knobs that I mounted in place of the original equipment: it approaches the truth!

OVERALL OPINION

I use in my backup guitar G6131 MY 2 years.

I love her look and sound perfect after processing ..

Like less finish, weight and imbalance.

Excellent value for money
