I love my Electromatic, but now I want a Gretsch with Dynasonics. That Falcon sounds so beautiful

Glorious intro track!

The US made one comes with a hardshell case. That’s also part of the price difference.

Great and clear lesson! Very grateful, man)

Ben...Finish this song PLEASE! From soup to nuts. It is FANTASTIC!

When I finally got smart and bought a nice Gretch, what really surprised me was how playable Gretch is, versus what I thought. Poor access on the high frets are the only exception from my experience. Really great guitars. Expensive Guitars are better, but the improvements slight of return per dollars spent. My opinion, have one great guitar, rather than 10, ok guitars. Enjoyed the video.

Great Arrangement! Love the two dueling gretsches.

Even without headphones I heard the difference❤❤❤ falcon really deserves

Nice playing at the start Ben. The kind of sound that should be on the Radio every day but isn't.

Sounds great dude. Excellent eq work imo. I feel like it’s a hidden secret that a lot of great guitar recordings have very little low end. Great playing as well

Your playing in the intro is excellent.

Nice playing, brother!

I have a US Professional, a hot rod Partscaster Tele, and a Player series. I love all three. The Player series is awesome and as good as the others. A great deal!

The White Falcon headstock definitely improves the tone, just by looking cooler.

That opening jam completely blew me away. Fantastic stuff

Agree 100%! The difference is quite subjective, maybe in the long run since the American one has more Stainless steel hardware so it would be likely to be more resistant to wear and tear but then again, it depends on the player.. Also, I know the Mexican and American ones use Canadian maple and American Ash or Alder for the body. So given that the QC control on the Mexican factories is quite good, choose the one you can afford and you'll be fine.

On this end I felt the falcon had a brighter tone. I could hear a higher quality for sure. Idk about a 3000$ quality jump, but maybe a 1500$. It's kind of a difference between the player and professional strat. I play my dads mexican or player in today's terms, and my American feels and sounds leagues above. I never noticed until I had one. The ampro has more sustain, its brighter with more tonality. They do sound simular, but it makes all the difference when playing.

Literally bought a 15 today. Really like it. Don’t know if it’s close to a Bassman/JTM45 or a BluesJnr as I’ve never played them. But I picked mine up revalved and freshly serviced for £300. I’m happy. The neighbours not so much 😂

Played both in store and while the player series is a killer guitar the fit and finish on the pro II is definitely noticeable. Not quite worth the price though. Thinking of going with the American performer! Awesome intro btw

i wanna hear a white falcon vs a 5420 with the new FT-5E Pickups

My biggest takeaway, "It's all about what we do with the instrument that we have." ✊

They ALL sound GOOD Benno! I was surprised with the Hilo'trons. A bit more scooped than the Dynasonics! And the Filter'trons just had tons of mid PUNCH! Nice 1 mate! Where about in Oz are you?

I have an American Special and the pro 2. And the pro 2 does feel better and sounds better. Plus the push push gives you another time option.

I don't think I've ever left a RUclips comment before... But that fucking intro was something else...

what a beautiful guitar and what a beautiful lesson

I bought the MIM. A BLOODY BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENT.

Love my G6120-DS. Great intro!

My favorite Gretsch is the Brian Setzer sparkle green Hot Rod. Holy crap I bonded with that guitar. But it's 3,200 bucks so I'm going to go with a 5420 instead at 800 bucks. Not the same, but still, it will scratch the itch and sound pretty good!

Just compared to really similar American and Mexican made teles in a guitar shop and I liked Mexican one more ))) but that’s subjective of course

that jazzmaster sounds great! do you know what pickups does it have, or what model of Jazzmaster it is? Because there's jazzmasters that sounds like trash and others very good... this is a good one...

Unique moves, Ben. That's a welcome thing on RUclips, where guitar cliches abound. I've always been able to tell Jazzmaster from Jaguar instantly, and your demo shows why: Jazzmaster gets deep vibrant tones that are great for blues as well as clean jazz. The Jaguar is a plinky sounding surf guitar with no sustain and no range. It would be interesting to add a Strat to the mix next time. In fact, swapping Strat, Jazzmaster and Jaguar pickups into the same guitar body. That would tell the tale.

The Falcon is so much more open and expressive. Sounds like the Electromatic compresses quicker, doesn’t have the top end clarity, and minimal difference between positions. Think about this.. if you’ve got mates going into studio they’ll be calling to borrow the Falcon… no one will be calling to borrow the Electromatic…

Money wise and affordability I bought the MIM Fender Player Telecastor, and I don't regret it. I prefer it over my USA Fender 40th Anniversary Stratocaster for playability and sound.

Great video!

Wow actually yeah that is a super massive difference. I want one of these so bad.

I prefer the hollow body guitar, a bit warmer and more pleasing to my ears. Thanks for the demonstration Ben, always a joy to hear you playing.

Have both in Squire build and like the difference in each.

GREAT! Well done!

How do i make my guitar sound like this?

Unsubscrib from this channel everybody

Hey so question for you. Would you think that hilotrons would sound similar to this example in a Chet Atkins Tennessee Rose? Im looking at one now.

Great video! Great easy-going personality!

It’s a great little “bedroom” amp. Or practice amp. It will do everything. Literally. I own this amp, my favorite setting is low gain stage, with gain and volume cranked. Everything else at noon. You can roll off guitar volume for clean, and roll up for dirty. The reverb is always at 2 1/2 to 3 for me. Cons are nobody will work on the thing.

dude, you've gotta tell us how you achieve that epic tone, maybe a gear and setup vid?

Great vid, and great playing. Great combo with the White Falcon and the Dynasonics. Just the right amount of break up. I Have a WF with TV Jones. I love it, but may have to look for a Duo Jet with Dynasonics. Are they single coil or like a mini humbucker? Anyway, thanks for a great vid. 👍🏼

For what I want out of a Tele tone, Player series FTW!!

Interesting that people do not have an ear. The usa sings as a musical instrument. The player only tries to imitate a musical instrument.

Your playing is so tasteful Ben! Love it.

Great playing Ben! The sounds are awesome, can you tell a bit about your recording process and what kind of reverb and delay you're using. I would appreciated that a lot! Thanks.

Top Review ! Does it have enough mids to cut through a Band mix? Thanks!
