High-end Gretsch made in Japan. The violin is impeccable. The Japanese are today and violin since the early 90 excellent in many other brands (see fender). (Better than some US? ...)
This is a semi hollow body 6120 country western, the only difference being that it has a micro Fralin P90 in the neck position.
The bridge, as on most guitars Jazz, is floating. but can be attached to the adhesive if necessary.
The aesthetic is gorgeous, very attractive line.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, the action is low, the game is really easy.
The guitar is light and well balanced.

SOUNDS

The sound is pure and crystalline intermediate position on the easel. Duller and thicker in the neck position.
Curiously, although they have not all the same violin, the sound may be similar to a Telecaster 50s, and less flapping, with frequencies less aggressive acute, and endowed with more depth in the bass.
This guitar is sweet, as in the game in its sounds. The low output level of his microphone has the advantage to really amplify the sound, the sculpt at will: They add a multitude of different effects pedals, everything I tested, Overdrive, distos, boost, modulation different, stand out wonderfully in a mix. We can turn up the gain and volume of the amp without limits to highlight the extraordinary timbre of this guitar.
So this is a very versatile guitar, contrary to its looks might suggest.
Perfect pick to clean arpeggios in solos ... You can also smear the wish for her to record more grunge, garages etc ...
Of course, plugged into a fender twin with a short delay type roland 201, there is the twang of 5O years. It pushes the reverse and the time and we surf.
We can play Billy Rock, blues, also sounds like U2, The Cure, Radiohead, Depeche Mode and dirty again and again ... exit the metal, whatever, with the right foot ...
Microphones require a good amp may find the sound bland.
Here are the couples I've tested and liked: fender deluxe, fender princeton, vox ac 15, vox ac 30, roland JC 120.
Note: This guitar responds very well also with all-digital modeling. I'm not a fan of this stuff but it helps out in preprod or demos, and, on many different modulations, this guitar is doing better than some others I have.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this instrument for 8 years. I am delighted.
This is an unusual instrument but I saved the day on a lot of prods.
It's not the guitar I use most but it has its place in music that I do, Pop, Folk, Rock ...
It is also a question of feeling. I fully understand that others can blame him a lack of character. I think just the opposite.
I give him a lot of advantages. I would have more, I miss her terribly.
