    "GET THIS GUITAR,ITS GREAT!!"

    Sound:
    i for one love this giutar, i love the unique sound that comes from it. I have played the giutar many times and i pick this particular model over any of the others.It lets me get the sound that i want, (pretty much the same sound that came from malcom young in ac/dc). I personally like the guitar with a lot of treble and medium distortion. I really like the way it sounds with the marshall mg50 amp. I love the shape of the body and I really like the head of the giutar. I am planning to get the guitar for my birthday from my parents.
    Feature:
    My favorite accessory is the bisby vibrato. It doesn't give too much vibration but just right. I think the lease useful features on the guitar are the thumbnail inlays. they are kind of difficult to see when you are standing with the guitar. I wish it had more tone controls.
    Quality:
    all the gretsch double jets i played had no loose parts or anything wrong with it. Tough guitar
    Manufacturer Support:
    THE PEOPLE WERE NICE ANSWERED THE PHONE QUICKLY AND ANSWERED QUESTIONS
    Value:
    i think it had a great price for the guitar. The price was the same every were i looked
    The Wow Factor:
    The first time i saw the guitar i fell in love with the look then when i played it i wanted it
    Overall:
    i would play it for 5 years then get a new guitar, but never get rid of it

    "Beware of buying a Gretsch guitar online before PLAYING it!!!!!!! Espesially the cheaper Electromatic's!!!!!!"

    This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

    Sound:
    The sound is the classic gretsch sound. The sound I was looking for! See quality for further details.
    Feature:
    The strap holders are cheezy.
    Ease of Use:
    See below!!!
    Quality:
    O.K. here we go, The first thing I noticed when playing it was the nut was cut wrong. The A string was alot closer to the D string than it was to the low E string. Not proper spacing. Also whenever using the Bigsby it goes out of tune. Not that I use it during normal playing but, it was there so I tried it out. I wish they would do something about QC and check things like this out. I would like to see an optional tailpiece that would eliminate the tremlo.
    Manufacturer Support:
    ?? Dont know yet, I'll find out in a few days.......
    Value:
    The sound I was looking for is in this guitar. I was dissapointed however in the nut problem so, without further playing I cant say for sure. It would be nice if it had "hotter pickups" also. But thats just for my type of playing. I'll just crank the volume a little more. Overall, the sound is nice. Just a good Gretsch sound.
    The Wow Factor:
    The style of the guitar is exactly what I was looking for. Something you dont see everyday, strats, les pauls,.........
    Overall:
    If I find/get a replacement for this guitar that is acceptable, I would play it almost exclusively. I like things that are different.
