I just bought (used) that exact model and color of Gretsch guitar. It's on the way. It's my first "real" guitar, joining my 3-string cigar box guitar. Now, I must master 6 strings - LOL. This Gretsch should prove inspirational. Can't wait. Hope it takes kindly to an occasional slide.
I have that Gretsch in Azure Blue. Stunning guitar that plays very nice! I switched the pickups in mine to a TV Jones classic in the neck position and a Powertron plus in the bridge position. The Blacktops were decent, but IMO didn't have that classic filtertron warmth. Love the new TV Jones pickups! I also did locking tuners and a graphite nut to help with tuning stability with the Bigsby tremolo.
Another interesting roundup! The fact that you have the skill to demonstrate in a style appropriate to each instrument sets you apart, fantastic playing. I'm a recent subscriber and just sorry I didn't find your channel sooner.
Only one comment, the Gretsch g5655tg has black top broadtron pickups, no filtertrons, I have one an it's amazing, great look and sound. By the way, the 335 tokai that you played sounds great
Just bought a Gretsch 5655 in Casino Gold because of the chrome hardware. Looks a bit more decent to me. Great guitar for a great prize, very versatile. Play it over a tweed deluxe amp. Nice combination. Thanks for your hints.
Was that the foo fighters riff with the Tokia, all of the guitars are beautiful and unique in their own way , getting the gretsch , can't wait to try!!, thank you for the video. Very informative
Not my kind of guitars but great playing and excellent review as always! This channel deserves to be huge!! More rock and metal... BC Rich for example :)
the second guitar sounds very nice on overdrive, it's even a pity that the gretch doesn't sound like that, it's a standard. I recently bought such a gretch but for some reason the strings are very hard, I can’t play as easily as you, tell me?
Ciao Dear Guitalian! I'm a beginner guitarist from Hungary. I have a strat style guitar with a brand of Stadio. I have been searching a lot of time on the internet to find any information about this guitar but I have failed. I have some basic information: built about 1995 and maybe coming from Italy. Did you hear any information about this "Stadio" brand? Thanks in advance!
What would you recommend for beginners a jazz guitar.. Hollow body? Semi-hollow with center block? Any brand/model in particular? Would really appreciate your input 👍 Much blessings 🙌 Ty 🎸😎👍
I’d go with a full hollow like the Ibanez AF. A full hollow body for me is more inspiring than a semi hollow with the center block if you go for straight ahead jazz
I have a Gretch G5422TDC for most styles and the bigsby. However, for jazz which doesn’t need a bigsby I switch to my Epihone Sheraton ii pro which also has the centre board for greater sustain. Although they have their differences, you could play either for all styles. 95% of the result is the player.
The Ibanez without a doubt ! haha ! Not in your face like the Gretsch, wouldnt be seen dead playing that in band ! Just says " Look at Me " ! haha ! Bit like a pimp wagon, sorry ! But they seemed to have stopped at the Fretboard which looks naff ! Maybe some ebony and inlays would have made the difference ! haha !
Hey 1950 called and said you can fix the bridge now! A non secure bridge is a needless problem in this modern age. There is just 0 reason to leave that important piece loose.
4 really different instruments, don't you think? Do you have a favorite?
Cheers!
Gretsch hands down all day long.
I love the Gretsch overall presentation. That colour!
The Gretsch. Looks and sounds exceptional!
The Gretsch guitars were my favorites

I have 2 Gretsch. A 5222 & a 2655-p90
They are great fun to play and probably the best

I ordered the gretsch in aspen green and gold.
I just bought a Gretsch g2420 and I'm really enjoying the sound it produces. Really good comparison video. Thanks, from Austin, Texas.

Actually, the Gretch looks/sounds really good!! Must have been the AC/DC sounds!

Nice combination.

I love my semi hollow body Ibanez artcore I play it all the time
Me as well. I love that model Artcore.
I’m in the Gretsch camp. Your slide playing is great by the way.
Thanks!
that gretsch is a carbon copy of mine.. Beautiful guitar in all ways.
Thanks a lot from Belgium

Change the string gauge
"Learning To Fly" is kind of a national song of Italy, no? 😎
Ahaha I guess you're talking about Rockin 1000, so yeah, kinda :)

Hi Zoltan, actually I never heard about it, but in 1995 i wasn’t a guitar player already :)
@@TheGuitalian Thanks for your response. Maybe somebody else heard about it! :)
I’ll ask around:)
Can the Epiphone Casino coupe not have a jazz tone?
What would you recommend for beginners a jazz guitar..
Hollow body?
Semi-hollow with center block?
Any brand/model in particular?

Is the gretsch also fit for jazz?
I’d not say it’s its best but you can do it.
I have a Gretch G5422TDC for most styles and the bigsby. However, for jazz which doesn’t need a bigsby I switch to my Epihone Sheraton ii pro which also has the centre board for greater sustain. Although they have their differences, you could play either for all styles. 95% of the result is the player.
the worst guitar for me is the Epiphone casino, because the tone with overdrive not is good
