Well, what can I say really? As a new guitarist, this is nothing short of joyous to play and behold. They are right when they say that a Gretsch can do anything and this solid body beauty is no exception to the rule. Great quality, fit and finish. Great sound, loads of tone, punchy and jangly at the bridge and dark and sonorous at the neck!
In it's price bracket, I can't really fault it. May need some slight set up or adjustment for those who can be bothered but straight out of the box, it plays very well indeed. It's also light and comfy to have on the knee.
As a new player I won't go on too much about the technicalities because I don't really have much of a frame of reference for such things, save to say that I just love it.
Beginners and experts alike will appreciate this, especially if you're on a budget...a REAL Gretsch, with everything that means, regardless of the
modest price!
A real "baller", in my view!
Thank you Thomann for a great experience and I'll be doing my business with you again, soon!
