Have not heard back from the winner yet. Will announce once we get a response.
I did respond? Or was I second in line?
@@marktemebel Hi Mark I made this post a few weeks ago :)
People say PRS is the midpoint between a Gibson and a Fender, but a Gretsch is the real midpoint of thick but sparkly sound. I own 4 lefty Gretsch- a brown Country Gent 2, a racing green Jet, an Oxblood Bo Diddley all from Japan and a Korean Blue G4020T. They are really fun guitars, especially in a world where lefty choice is limited.
Fellow lefty Gretsch enthousiast here :)
I started with that airline silver 5230, and recently added a (2003) 6120 from Terada :)
The only way PRS is the middle of Gibson and Fender is in scale length 😂. A typical PRS (Custom) is wayyyy closer to a Gibson
Let’s hear it for us lefties !
PRS is midway in feel, but not sparkly enough in tone to be far off from Gibson
I hate fender. And Les Paul’s . All hype. Fenders QC control went to crap literally. Op’s to much counterfeiting and hype with them. That guitar set up exactly right will be better then a Lp imho .
Thanks for the vid. Malcom Young played a Gretsch, and had the best classic rock rhythm tone ever.
Indeed!
We the jury find this guitar quilty. Love the intro, I’ve only played a Gretch once at GC. It played beautifully. Very comfortable and lightweight for its size. Thanks for everything you do for the guitar community. Get your shred on and keep it bluesy. Love you, Robert
I play a Duesenberg Starplayer TV. It’s also a perfect midpoint between a Strat and a Les Paul. It has a really awesome pickup configuration of a Humbucker bridge and a P90 at the neck. I’ve had this guitar for about a year and a half, and absolutely LOVE it!!!
Love that opening song! Groovy but technical, clean and crunchy. Impressive.
Thanks Sweetwater!! Thank you Robert for the opportunity!
Had a gold top gretsch and I instantly regretted getting rid of it. Though I love my LP, gretsch is its own thing. I enjoy the bigsby w/ a Leslie and a generous amount of plate verb. Magnifique! Loved the kneck pickup in that one. Makes me want to play wicked games already…!!!
Daaang that quilt ❤❤❤
Amazing tone and playing as always ma dude 🎉
Grestch are sweet guitars. Have a 5220 and a 2655T-P90 and love them both.
I got a 6120 a while back. I really love the guitar. It has a unique sound that sets it apart from the "others".
I have always appreciated the Gretsch control layout - volumes for each PU, master tone, master volume.
Gretsch is awesome! Filtertrons are extremely underrated
Sparkling, beautiful tones indeed. Need one in my life. Great playing too!
The way your shredding on that thing, it sounds like a Gretsch 5150! Seriously, sounds awesome!
Sounds great! Love that girth to chime ratio!
I have a G5427TG in an incredible dark blue color. With the gold hardware, it is just stunning. I bought it to play jazz but it can really do just about anything.
Gretsh always made a fine guitar !
Glad there is a contest for this bad boy. Amazing tone options.
Thanks for the giveaways.
Beautiful guitar. Love the Sidewinder and White Falcon.
Favorite Mistake is one of my go to songs! Nice 👍
That’s a great looking guitar and loving all the pickup position possibilities.
I was a Gretsch nut from 2002, until 2017. Country Clubs were my thing. I love hollowbodies, and don't let people set you wrong, you can rock VERY HEAVY on a FilterTron or Dynasonic loaded Gretsch - you just need to know how to set up your amp (oh yeah, and quit trying to make it sound like a Gibson or a Fender).
Why did I quit playing Gretsches? - the thin necks! I play classical style, which means my thumb stays behind the neck (courtesy of a guitar playing suggesting from my uncle - Guitar Generation #2 who was made by grandpa [Guitar Generation #1 in the family], to take classical guitar lessons). While playing in classical style gives me an extended hand span on the neck (great for some chords, and lead guitar passages - as for being able to hang/hook my thumb over the neck for blooze bends, I've never been much of bender playing-wise), it makes thin necks uncomfortable. Unfortunately, Gretsches with chunkier necks (or at least a Medium C - .850" thick or more at the 1st Fret), are very few and far between. So after about 10 years of fighting thin necked Gretsches, I said good-bye to them.
I'd love to have another Gretsch hollowbody (and what would make things even better - for it to NOT HAVE A BIGSBY [I hardly ever use wiggle sticks, and Bigsbys are a pain to re-string]), but every time I try out Gretsches at my favorite local guitar shop (which happens to be a Gretsch dealer), they all have the same old thin U-shape necks. As it is, I can't afford a ProLine Gretsch nowadays. To make matters worse, the same guitar shop I just mentioned, recently got in a used 2005 Gretsch Country Club. Like an idiot, I played it, and as I thought, being a relatively early Fender era Gretsch, the neck is just chunky enough to keep my fretting hand happy. Oh, and to pour gas on the fire, I played the 2005 Country Club through a Mesa Boogie Mark V - great clean tones, and tones of glorious dirt tones! At $3000 used, I can forget about buying it. Oh well.
Welcome to the Gretsch family! Loving my G6120CMHOF and my G5220T FT Jet. That Sweet Tea burst is sooooo smooth.
Dude that thing is super nice, sounds great, and I dig that groovy vibe it's got. Packed a punch on the high end, but mellowed out nicely. I entered the drawing, but I'll have to get me one anyways if I don't win! Love your videos man. Keep up the good work 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I recently tried a Gretsch for the first time, and was pleasantly surprised! The neck felt similar to a Gibson, and the filtertron pickups sounded incredible.
Amen to the Hallelujah!!!! I own three!!!
I grew up in the same neighborhood as Brian Setzer, we're the same age, and he's been doing his rockabilly thing since way back, and an inspiration and an absolute master as a player. ( You cant hide sloppy on a Gretsch!!)
When Gilmour sold off 120 guitars, and interviewer asked him, " Is there a guitar you wont sell? "
David's response was, "....My 1958 Duojet. "
There are videos of David playing that Gretsch from the 80's all the way into the 2000's.
I've been a Gretsch player since the 70's. I own 3 Gretsch's right now. . 2 Anniversaries ( 6118T-LTV-125 in Jaguar Tan and 6118T-LTV-120 in Bamboo Yellow ) and 1 Duojet. (G6128T The Duojet is one of my all time favorite Guitars.)
What a gorgeously piece of music was that intro. Hope it develops into a complete song.
Was out for a curry on Thursday and we were talking about these style guitars 🎸…. Definitely an inspiration to look more into them 👍🏻👍🏻
I have one metallic purple. Love it. I gig with it all the time. I especially love it for rhythm work in a 2 guitar situation. So far the only upgrades I’ve done is replace the tuners with Graph Tech locking tuners. A must. They drop right in. I replaced the spring with a Squishy spring and I put a roller bridge in. Stays in tune pretty good. I’ll add some warble to the chords and rarely have to retune much in between songs.
That Gretsch sounds amazing at the end of the video....with your playing of course! 🙂
GORGEOUS Guitar. Excellent Video. Thank You.
Hallelujah!, You have seen the light! I don't have a Gretsch! I have 2! A G5410T Rat Rod and an Electromatic Pristine LTD Center Block. Never going back to anything else. Love My Gretsch! The model you have there is called the Gretsch G5655TQM Electromatic Center Block Junior. Goes for $999.00 most places. Has Black Top Broad’Tron Pickups all Maple construction with a Spruce Center block. Body depth is 1.75" (44.45 mm) and scale length is 24.6" (625 mm) Radius is 12 " Nut width is 1.6875" (42.86 mm) has 22 frets and a Nubone nut. God, I Love Gretsch!
Rat Rod, huh? Hadn't heard of that one -- gonna have to look it up. What is the finish called on this one? Beautiful...
Me 2 too! I have the orange one and a White Falcon.
Beautiful guitar and of course, beautiful playing as always ❤🙏
I have that same one just in orange. Love it too. Have 4 other Gretschs too.
I've been looking at a few and have been wanting to add one to my collection.
Well, I did pick up a Gretsch Electromatic Double Jet. Not quite the real deal, but it plays Down Payment Blues with THAT SOUND, so I’m happy.
It says gretsch on the headstock, that's authentic enough, don't be hard on yourself because of the corksniffers who flock to channels like this for an ego boost
Dude, your tone and playing here just rocks!! Gracias amigo
I mean George Harrison got into Gretsch guitars for a good amount of time as a Beatle. The lineup of John on his Rickenbacker, Paul with is Hofner and George with his Gretsch on Ed Sullivan is music history.
Fantastic that you have featured a Gretch. Some years ago, I was selling/trading a guitar thinking I wanted a Les Paul. I ended up with a Gretch DuoJet, which has TV Jones Filtertron pickups. I still have that guitar and it is amazing how good it is for rock. Those pickups are fantastic.
What a beauty - opening demo was superb!
Banging intro dude. Kudos.
I need that double cut Mint Green Grestch! They make way fun , classic looking Guitars🎉
Stunning, the guitar and playing.
I have an older Electromatic, and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Gretsch pickups are unique, that's for sure. If you mess with the pole pieces, you can can really dial it in to your liking and make a sound that's unique to only you.
Holy shit man. You killed it in the beginning intro! How can I play like that????
That's a nice sounding guitar! Nice one!
I got a 5420-tg demo from sweetwater last year. It completely shifted the covers I do…lots of George Harrison and Randy Bachman. Will eventually get to Brian Setzer…I did a cover of day tripper with the Gretsch in one channel and my epi 335 in the other and the combination was incredible…such a beautiful guitar.
I'm a big fan of Gretsch guitars. I have a few. Before I found your video, I was looking at this exact model online. I keep thinking about buying one. The necks are comfortable in my hand and I like the thin bodies. They're resonant enough where I'd play it unplugged a lot.
Literally just got my first Gretsch two weeks ago... a 6128T Player's Jet (single coil)... and as a Les Paul player, I LOVE it! Real spanky, chime'y tone that takes dirt real well.
I dig that jam in the beginning!
Beautiful guitar, I’ve had my eye on a Gretsch for a while. I need to just break down and make the purchase
My Favorite Mistake, one of my go to riffs when checking out any guitars with a nice twang to them. My fave Sheryl Crow song 😁
Me too!
Same here.
I have a Gretsch G2655TG-P90 and it rules! I play it a lot more than my Les Paul. Great brand!
Fantastic intro song ! Got me really interested in trying a Gretsch !
I currently own a G5422T-140 and a G5427T, and both are great! These are great for any genre, not only rockabilly. Also, these guitars are very popular among praise and worship. I would suggest giving these a try!
That really is a beautiful guitar! Very classy! 😎
I've got one in azure with gold hardware. They need a little work to get to great but they are pretty sweet out of the box.
I swapped in TV Jones pups and did some nut clean up and a roller bridge to make the bigsby more functional.
I've got a similar Gretsch myself, it's an Electromatic hollowbody in orange stain and its double-cut. Same pickups as the one in this video, same body depth too. It's a great playing guitar, although I do hope I can get a Duo Jet in silver sparkle someday. Gretsch guitars are awesome at any price point, this is a great guitar to give away.
I have looked at Gretsch guitars so many times. I don't think you can go wrong with any. Love the sound.
I have 3 Gretsch’s! A Jim Dandy for knocking around and trying to teach my 8 yr old son, an Electromatic Jet BT, and a 2005ish hollowbody with bigsby and everything. They’re so great!
Excellent video, thank you.
Very cool guitar!
I have this guitar is azure metallic blue and it is one of my favorite guitars now. The only thing I changed on mine was to add locking tuners and change the pickups to TV Jones classic filter'trons. Gretsch makes really nice guitars at an affordable price.
Wow, the sound of that guitar is great, it must be all that Maple shining through!
WOW...... That's beautiful !!!
Wow, that's a gorgeous instrument.
That bridge pick up is crazy good 🤯
I have a G5655T QM just like this one, only in the amber color they call speyside. Absolutely love the unique tones available on these. Some say Bigsby equipped guitars won’t stay in tune. As long as you take the time to set it up properly, lube the nut, and don’t go crazy with the Bigsby, it holds tune very well.
Very nice sound.. beautiful guitar
I own two Gretsches and a G&L. My first Gretsch is a 5230FT, Electromatic Jet. I did some modding to it (changed the values of the pots and tone cap; replaced the bridge with a roller, added locking tuners, then did some cosmetic stuff. She’s my favourite guitar to this date, even after having (more or less) completely rebuilt my G&L, whose previous owner and rewired it into (basically), just a regular HSS Strat. But nothing touches the tone on my Jet.
My other Gretsch is a 2655-P90, which plays beautifully, though I’m not crazy about these particular P90s. Don’t get me wrong: they’re awesome for rhythm playing; however, they don’t have quite the sustain I’d prefer for playing lead, even when run into a compressor and boost pedal. Unfortunately, if I wanted to replace them-even with standard P90s-I think I’d have to further rout out the pickup cavities. However, I love my Jet so much that the deficiencies in my 2655 almost don’t matter. I can’t rave enough about Filter’Tron pickups. Even the bog-standard ‘blacktop’ Filter’Trons sound dead gorgeous. So many people, when they buy a Gretsch like mine, their first move is to upgrade the pickups. I feel absolutely zero desire to do so. I like them just as they are. I found that the tone I wanted didn’t require touching the pickups, but instead swapping out the pots. IiRC, I swapped out the 250k volume pots for 500ks,and I swapped out the 500K master volume for a 1M. I also cut a little of the brightness of the pickups by switching from a .047uf tone cap to a .033uf. Now she’s a little more gutsy and middy. If I need more brightness, that’s why I own a G&L.
That is the same guitar I've been looking at lately! Sounds great and that sweet tea finish is incredible. I don't need the guitar I just really really really want one. On second thought I do need it.
Good golly Miss Molly! That looks better than any Les Paul that I have ever seen.
Awesome looking guitar. Like it.
I had one for a bit it was cool you can play anything on them, I never really bonded with it and sold it.
Gretsch's Filtertron-like pickups really are pretty dang sweet and they have three of the best fretboard inlays (Big Block, Halfmoon and Art Decos)
I like Gretsch. But, I only like the ones made in Japan. Or, a Masterbuilt one. I have the Silver Falcon and the thing has a Bigsby and it DOES NOT GO OUT OF TUNE 🎵. The thing is bulletproof. And the action is amazing.
I got my first Gretsch last week and it has completely revolutionized my playing and approach to playing. Truly a wonderful instrument. 🙌
I have an Alpine Green 5622T and I absolutely love it
Bought a Gretsch Jet, the Electromatic version used and a Gibson Les Paul at around the same time and the Les Paul is being sold and the Gretsch gets played everyday. Just spectacular quality in every way for 1/7th the price
Thank you Sweetwater
Hell of an intro clip
That is a phenomenal guitar. The scale length is the same as my Les Paul. Pretty sweet...
That things lovely for sure!
Absolutely 💯 love that gretch!! 🎸 🎸
Bro your compositions are always so amazing. Love it
That's one amazing looking guitar. And it sounds really good too, at least to my ears.
The Gretsch Duo Jet has been my go to for years now. For me the sweet spot has always been middle position (both pickups) balanced with the volume controls. Unless you wanna go full bridge, rip the rest of the guts out, and rock until damnation of course. 😉👍
Thank you.
Yes!!!!!! Just got one of their solid bodys and it's easily my favorite guitar. Better tones than I've gotten from anything else. Love it definitely has a different sound
Nicce product placement!🎉
When you said you were giving it away, my jaw dropped to the floor and my brain fell out of the gaping hole, so, gahhhhh!
Have a 5220 Electromatic Jet in Jade Grey. Absolutely fantastic. Dollar for dollar, one of the best values out there. Sounds and plays beautifully.
When I was young, having a Gretsch one day was my ambition. Now I am old and can afford one, I no longer need one. However, I do have an oddball LP copy with slightly disguised Filtertron copies, so the classic Gretsch sound is on my palette
That's the best looking Gretsch I have ever seen!
Beautiful guitar. I like the light weight.
It’s absolutely beautiful and sounds great, never really considered buying Gretch but maybe I should
I've heard so many opinions about newer Gretschs build quality and never found one in a local store so I've been hesitant to order one online but I love the look and sound. If Robert says it's okay I've got to give it a go.
I would love to own a Gretsch for the first time. What a beautiful sounding and looking guitar.
My Gretsch Junior Jet is one of my favorite guitars to play. It has a p90 in the neck position.
I had to sell my heavy guitars because I became disabled with a bad back. I still play out but a nice six pounder would be beautiful.. That guitar sounds killer and you’re playing has gone up several notches.
