      LOL… it has an “authenticity guarantee”. What the hell does that even mean?!

        "we" "guarantee" that it "is/n't" "authentic"

        Think it, be it.

          New Guitar Day

          I've never owned a Gretsch, but it's still on my must-have list.

          Is yours the Country Gentleman model ?

            No, it’s the Electromatic series G5422T. I love this guitar, but it’s kind of a specialized niche guitar for me, I’ll only be using it for specific things where I need “that” sound. So it was impossible to justify spending multiple thousands for the Country Gentleman. I got this at a steal for way under $1000, so at that price it was hard to pass up but I still struggled a bit with pulling the trigger. Glad I did though, it’s an awesome guitar.

                        I recommend spaying/neutering your Gretsch guitars, folks. Don’t be like me. The Sweetwater Stork informed me today that I should be expecting a new arrival this week:

                          @xtcclassic That looks amazing. I played a Gretsch G6122T-62 Chet Atkins once but man they're just so damn big. Same goes for the ES-335. Telecasters are the one for comfort IMO (regardless of your opinion of Fender!)

                          The devil is in the detail..

                            Oh I’m a longtime Tele player, if I could only have one guitar it would be a Tele. This Gretsch thing is a fairly new thing to me. I bought my first one less than a year ago. I’ve had my Tele for 20 years or so.

                                How you getting on with it? I am looking for a new telecaster atm..

                                  Since that pic was taken, I’ve replaced the pickups with TV Jones (Setzer bridge and Classic neck) and replaced the stock bridge with a stainless steel Tru-Arc. It sounds absolutely amazing now, it’s tied with my Tele as my number one. Never thought I’d see that happen. Here it is now:

                                      Just got this elusive reverb pedal for a bit of a steal thanks to good old eBay.
                                      Has 16 algorithms and a tonne of modulation options. It even has the flappy bird game installed on it!
                                      weird.

                                        I accidentally bought 2 guitars off eBay the other day…  ::)
                                        Hopefully, @AdamJ will buy one off me (no pressure) so I don't feel so stupid. Pics will follow but they're just a couple of Squire Telecasters as I'm looking to get back into playing and didn't want to go crazy. Plus I planning up upgrading the pickups and electronics. That is all.

                                          The only thing better than a Telecaster is another Telecaster.  😉
