For anyone interested and to clear up any confusion, here is the full rundown of the controls for the Gretsch Custom Shop Masterbuilt G6136-T: We have a pickup selector switch, tone switch, neck pickup control switch & bridge pickup control switch. For the neck & bridge control switch, the down position is a coil split, middle is normal humbucker mode and up is the dynamic pickup control option (outside Coil is on, inside coil is sent to their respective pickup control blend).
I was at the factory when that cream one was being built and I haven't stopped thinking about it since that day. Glad to know it ended up with my faves! Miss you alll!
Ariel - When are you going to do a show in or near Nashville? I've really been enjoying your music and YT performance videos over the past few years and would dig being able to go with my wife to see you perform live.
Pete, you definitly need a Gretsch. The boost in joy of playing I got when I got one is enormous. Don't get me wrong, my Gibson is still my workhorse. But the joy in playing the Gretsch is immeasurable.
Ahhh missed Rabea and Pete's jams. Such tasteful players! Amazing sounds from those guitars, hope they duplicate those sounds in some of the cheaper models too!
It’s so weird how a channel made to advertise for a shop has introduced me to two of my favorite modern players. Bea and Pete are great apart and perfect together.
What a great and fun video. Too rich for my blood but, my Korean made Gretsch 5622-T is the nicest guitar I have ever owned. The quality and workmanship is A+ all the way around.
Stephen Stills and Neil Young come to mind with that Falcon, Pete was absolutely in love with the Walnut job, 10K+ I can only dream of owning one of these. Very nice.
I think two of those switches related to Gretsch's system for "coil splitting." Instead of splitting a humbucker into a SC, their system split the pickup between high 3 strings and low 3 strings. Another variation was for stereo outputs so I wonder if that guitar may not be fully functional as originally intended. You can see Neil Young playing the old "4-top-switch" models in various pictures on the Web. That was, I think, the 1960 model.
I think the White Falcon is stereo, that'd explain the many knobs and switches. They typically have a switch for filtering all strings or the top or bottom three. The switch at the back is, I guess, stereo/mono/off. The walnut, center block, guitar - did Pete like it? It was not clear ;)
If I’m not mistaken, the Cream Stephen Stern Gretsch has a three-position selector switch, three-position tone switch, master volume, neck volume, bridge volume, and mute switch. The front coil of each pickup can be selected via dependent selector switches under the pickup selector and tone switches.
Lots of comments in here about the high prices. Gretsch also makes myriad, amazing guitars that do not cost nearly as much as the two in this video. You'll get that same tone/vibe from them as well. !
Man, I'm in the market for an upgrade from my Squier soon, and as a country guy I really ought to just go with a Tele and get it over with, but every time I see one of these Gretsch videos I absolutely fall in love with the sound of them. I may just have to give in and get one of the Electromatics.
Be sure to play several first..I went guitar shopping last year's w gretsch firmly in my sights.. but after playing 3 gretsch semi hollows I compared the experience to an epiphone es 339 inspired by Gibson line 2020 and it blew them all away...I left w the epi for 550+tax and dropped 150 on epi hard case...bout 750invit and it's amazing quality for that $... Plays and resonates way above it's price point
Gretsch G6119 owner here! If you want that Gretsch sound and also go budget try to get one with the Black top Filtertrons. I know Bigby's are tempting but on that range are not worth it, so I would advice to pick a fixed bridge.
@@ElLudens Yeah I'm looking at the G5422, which has the blacktops as far as I know. I don't think I can avoid the Bigsby though, seems like they've all got them in that range unless you're left handed. I may just find a way to lock it out or replace it with a fixed bridge if it ends up being more trouble than it's worth.
Try that Falcon through some high gain. You'll be surprised. I have a 2006 Nashville classic with the Classic plus and supertron pups that I play through an Orange OR-15. It rips.
One can dream I have a 5230t jet in red with a Grey scratch plate. Love it but got it for 500 bucks on sweetwater 3 years ago. Can't imagine paying 11k for a guitar but it's all relative. These guitars look and sound great. Love Gretsch
Oh, man was that intro jam cool. Made me want to buy one of the guitars...until I saw how affordable they are. Anyway, more Rabea pls. I miss some proper shredding on this channel for some of the guitars you guys present. Thanks
@@FenderMarko47 Hard to compare proficiency when styles are so different.. Pete's blues rock chops are pretty extraordinary as are rabeas metal and hard rock chops..I'm not sure the rubric u are basing your opinion on but I could probably put 50 guitarists ahead of him as far as best in the world?.. depends what u are basing this on...I would agree he's top ten modern RUclips players...body of work doesn't really support that claim imo..
@@ericwarrington6650 that's a fair assessment but I'm going on the fairly recent award for best breakthrough guitarist in total guitar magazine and my own personal tastes which is what music is all about right? I agree with your statement regarding his body of recorded works but I feel much more is to come and I truly hope Dorje reform
@@FenderMarko47 agreed Mark..I really enjoy watching rabea grow as a player and person..great guy it seems and monster player no doubt..guys a beast...sky's the limit for him and can u imagine how amazing he will be in 10 years?! I admit my style is a bit dated but we are who we are and like what we like..I'm an old school Metallica level metal fan but 60s-90s is my favorite music...the new metal all sounds so similar to me tonally...scooped to Hades and everything sounds like it comes from bottom 3 strings 90%of the time..
With regards to comments about Stephen Stern relics… Last year I picked up a '62 Double-Cut Firebird Heavy Relic, Masterbuilt By Stephen Stern Firebird Red… In terms of relic jobs it is the best I’ve come across. It looks in pictures like any other kinda scuffed up affair. However in my hands it feels like I’ve taken an old guitar from a museum. Not just the paint job, the hardware, tuners… every element of the guitar. Not anywhere near as hit and miss as the average relic job. It stinks too like many things do when they are decades old. The mojo factor playing these is very high. Historically mine is a cheaper model and the USD MasterBuild price reflected at
I have my late grandpa’s 1960 Gretsch 6124 jazz guitar. It looks nothing like these “relic” guitars. Slight checking and slight finish clouding. Yes he gigged with it everywhere. The case is a bit rough though.
Holy shit. If I ever own a Gretsch someday at any price-point, I’m throwing that TV Jones Classic Plus/Super-Tron pairing into it. Those pickups sound fantastic.
Actually, this is the way old Falcon's age since the headstock was covered with a material called Nitron, which is a plastic they used on their drums. It doesn't really turn cream like the rest of the guitar does.
If you spent 5 minutes with them before shooting you'd know I guess haha. It sounds very much like the top right is the pick up selector, top left is treble bleed for both, bottom switches are output selectors for each. Sadly the switch all the way at the bottom of the body wasn't even used at all. Would've loved to hear what it does :( Stunning guitars, even more stunning playing. Missed Rabea adding his flair to the classic stuff.
Can someone please tell me what chord/scale produces this kind of sound? I am pretty new to the guitar, but I think it is in the key of E (E minor?).... oh, and some bloke called Tarrantino called... something about a theme tune for his latest film

Because...that's not what a White Falcon comes stock with.

Yes, I agree. If anyone should have a Gretsch, It's Pete. It's like they found him and he doesn't know it.
I agree with this statement sir. Own a Chibson 335 but its been put aside for a while now to make way for my G5422. Love em filtertrons!
Please do the opening jams longer. They are one of the main reasons i rewatch the videos. You guys are on another level!
Great to see Rabea back on set, pleasing after a hard days graft
Probably my favorite guitar duo right now. I love it when Rabea drops my Andertons
Ahhh missed Rabea and Pete's jams. Such tasteful players! Amazing sounds from those guitars, hope they duplicate those sounds in some of the cheaper models too!
I haven't watched the Andertons channel in a while... I had forgotten just how FANTASTIC of a guitarist Pete is!
It’s so weird how a channel made to advertise for a shop has introduced me to two of my favorite modern players. Bea and Pete are great apart and perfect together.
What a great and fun video. Too rich for my blood but, my Korean made Gretsch 5622-T is the nicest guitar I have ever owned. The quality and workmanship is A+ all the way around.
I got the 5422T. Loved it ever since :)
That opening jam was the best thing I’ve ever heard. Seriously I’m not joking

These two are the best team on the channel

I've got a pink sparkle masterbuilt penguin and I can only say if you want perfection in your instrument this is 100% it.
One of the few times I don't mind relicing. Gretsch guitars already look like a time capsule to me, in the best way.

@@ericwarrington6650 I'll definitely do that, but I'm really looking for a full hollow so an ES wouldn't be the alternative.
They were having a BLAST in that intro. Love it!
Amazing-sounding guitars! Playing is amazing, too.
I'm so glad to see Rebea back, I was almost certain he left the channel seeing that there were new hosts for sounds like.
That yellowing is as beautiful as in my 10 year old T-shirts. :-)
Wow, Wow, Wow,...... Great Gretsch review because these instruments are so rare. Thank You Very Much.
That was one of the best jams I have ever seen; Hands down.
Try that Falcon through some high gain. You'll be surprised. I have a 2006 Nashville classic with the Classic plus and supertron pups that I play through an Orange OR-15. It rips.
A thinline White Falcon is my absolute dream guitar. Sounds amazing guys!
Opening jam gave years of life back to me.

OMG they are mega love a good Gretsch
I can tell you really liked that guitar. Looks like it would put a smile on just about any one's face.
That one pete has is beautiful and I usually don't go for wood color guitars but that one is super classy. It looks like 11 grand lol
They sound awesome, epic intro jam
That walnut with the gold bigsby👌🏻
they're back. best jamming combo.
The opening made me smile! 😁 🎸 🎼🎵🎶
I loved that opening so much!!
That broadcaster is my new favourite guitar ever!!!
Good Lord those tones!
Holy cow, that intro jam was epic. I loved it
Welcome back Rabea !!!! 👌🏼
That intro was fantastic!
Beautiful Guitars and You Always get what You pay for So The price works and those Jam Sessions are Killer 👍👍🎶🎶🎸Well Done.
That smooth flow into 007 theme had me dying hahahahaha
That James Bond theme though!
PEEEEEEEEETE let's have a pedalboard update vid! Nice to see Rabea back
You two are just having way too much fun to be at work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rabea and Pete, fantastic
I like the James Bond vibe!
Wow! What a brilliant jam.
Brilliant tones and great playing!!
Lovely playing guys 👍
the dark intro reminded me of Rev. Horton Heat. Well done.
that was one of the best intro jams ever
Both instruments were wonderful. Hope they find a nice home.
Oh, man was that intro jam cool. Made me want to buy one of the guitars...until I saw how affordable they are.
Anyway, more Rabea pls. I miss some proper shredding on this channel for some of the guitars you guys present. Thanks
I dig that tone ... gretsch guitars are so underrated
Stephen Stern is the man. True craftsmanship.
Holy crap that intro was awesome.
Yes 🙌 Rabea’s back
The walnut is an absolutely stunning guitar. I'd have to start selling body parts to get that.
Super-musical intro gig 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love you guys jamming together.
Pete is an awesome guitarist. Rabea is great, too, but I really enjoy Pete's chops.
Totally different styles and gear tastes
Difference is Pete is very good at ordinary middle of the road stuff and Rabea is one of the ten best guitarists on the planet and can play anything

🤩I thought Rabea quit...
Looking at the 100 bucks in my wallet:
"So ... if I had like a 120 more of these ..."
Both guitars sound killer !!! 13,000 or 14,000 quid ? -Whew ! - That's relief ! I thought the price was gonna be expensive !!!

Hard to justify , when their cheaper models are so great.,, but.. Wow!... great video.
I couldnt stop smiling when the james bond kicked in. So cool!
Is there a chance the cream Gretsch is a stereo out or piezo out and that bottom 3-way is between the two circuits?
17:40 was the perfect opportunity for some Rolling Stones :D
I have my late grandpa’s 1960 Gretsch 6124 jazz guitar. It looks nothing like these “relic” guitars. Slight checking and slight finish clouding. Yes he gigged with it everywhere. The case is a bit rough though.
Well done. I love these videos. I want to shop at Andertons.
DAMN THAT TONE IN THE INTRO JAM! Getting fleetwood mac vibes. I need to buy a delay mannn
Pete is on 🔥
I was doing ok but now I have insane G.A.S after this video.
Uploaded 1 minute ago? LETS GOOOOOOO
Classy guitars, classy guitarists. Fantastic!
Holy shit. If I ever own a Gretsch someday at any price-point, I’m throwing that TV Jones Classic Plus/Super-Tron pairing into it. Those pickups sound fantastic.
AGREED! Said vvvvvv loud. GORGEOUS (also vvvv loud)
Pete really shows off the instrument. I got the feel for it. Good job. $11k.. I'm not a good enough player.
BEER, JAMES BEER... 007 Gorgeous Gretsch...
That cream one has quite white and new looking headstock, don't you think? Would it age like that since the body seems way more yellowish?
Actually, this is the way old Falcon's age since the headstock was covered with a material called Nitron, which is a plastic they used on their drums. It doesn't really turn cream like the rest of the guitar does.
Anyone else think Tarantino movie soundtrack listening to the jams? Gorgeous sounds
Sick intro jam!
Information about what the 5 switches do in the white relic one: it makes the guitar less affordable.
If you spent 5 minutes with them before shooting you'd know I guess haha.

Is that a white UA pedal on Pete's board?
Different class man very nice would be very nervous playing 11grand guitar lol👍

Are the changing numbers in the back upper right a decibel meter?
yup
