I got one due to your smokin' deal video. It arrived yesterday. It's excellent for $349. Mine arrived with a decent setup. The intonation is off a few cents on 2 strings, but that's no big deal, and easy to correct. The neck is pretty straight--I may need to add some relief, but am waiting to see how it is after it settles in here in MI for a few days. My only gripe is that sometimes a couple of the strings rattle or buzz at the bridge saddles. It comes and goes. I'll probably either file the saddles or replace the bridge with a roller bridge. For $349, I'm not going to make a fuss over that minor issue. I also bought the Gretsch Electromatic G5210-P90 in Firestick Red for $299. It's a beauty. There are no issues with that guitar other than the intonation on 2 strings being a couple of cents off according to my Snark Air tuner.
Now that's a killer guitar. I love semi-hollows, and I love Gretsch. Love this guitar too, and I have a couple similar to this. Awesome. I'd have a hard time letting that one go. Rock on, Joe!
Very Cool, Thankyou. WOW, Such a Bargain. Stunning Guitar. Looks and Sounds Amazing. Love the 'Racing Stripe". Deal not available to Australia, sadly, But I recently bought a Gretsch Electromatic G5420T HollowBody on Black Friday Sale 'Bargain'. This is my 3rd Gretsch and they are all Outstanding Guitars, a true Joy to play. Enjoy. All the Best. Cheers
Dam man! I missed out, lol had an eye on that guitar, didn't know Adorama made deals like this. I am a Sub now, will stay tuned. Congrats on this deal!
Great guitar! Beware my friend that style Bigsby B70 can be a bit tricky when changing strings. Plenty of vids on RUclips to show some tricks. Those are very good pickups, hope you keep it!
My wife bought me one of these for Christmas! The first electric I’ve had in 10 years, I guess. I love the thing! We’re still getting acquainted, but it’s going well so far. I wonder if you could list your rig and settings?
oh me, oh my! I thought I'd put that Gretsch GAS behind me. Told myself I Do Not want another Bigsby. And now this. Beautifully understated finish, IMO. The only thing I don't like is the racing stripe. Yeah -- that'll be my excuse!

Hey, glad to read that your G5210 Fire turned out to be so nice. I regret having to pass up that deal, but ... Christmas.
Great song by "The Cars" awesome way to start a video.
Thanks -- I couldn't place it. Yeah great choice, AJ

6:36 6:37 Great video and nice guitar. I just wanted to let you know that Fender has the Squier Sonic guitars on their website for $139 right now.
Good stuff Joe!! Sweet Axe!!
Beautiful guitar, Joe! Enjoy it! I'm always a little intimidated by the Bigsby---always think it's gonna be tricky changing strings for some reason...
I love the old Hilotrons and I appreciate your discussion of this cool guitar. Good job.
That is a handsome guitar
Congrats. 🤘

Nice review. I have some electric guitars, but I mostly play acoustic .

Unfortunately, I swapped this out for a full hollow body.
349 is an insanely awesome deal, are you kidding me? WOW
wow thats awesome

That was mine Rob. Obviously, didn't work.... Happy New Year brother!
Good score Joe.👍Looks and sounds great. The price is a great deal. Yeah, the deal breaker for me was the racing stripes.😮
