MalcDom « A must! »
Published on 01/28/11 at 07:29Gretsch past led by Fender Guitars manufactures its "standard" in Japan.
Mahogany body dug resonance chambers
Natural maple table
Mahogany neck
Ebony
22 frets + hoop "Zero" instead of the saddle
2 microphones HS FilterTron
Wraparound Badass bridge
1 volume neck
One volume Bridge
1 volume General
A 3-position switch microphone
1 3-Position Tone Switch
The level of finish is exceptional.
UTILIZATION
The handle is a delight: not too thick so old LP or too thin style Ibanez.
The game is total comfort because this guitar is extremely light (cavities and quality mahogany require). Access to treble is perfect, the feel of paint as well.
SOUNDS
The sound is typical of Gretsch: banging without being too bright, a twangg of good quality clean sound.
In his saturated color is less clear and it is the amp that makes the difference.
This instrument can do everything the big rock varieties. For high saturations microphones whose output level is relatively low show their limits.
I use it in a head JMP 1959, JCM 2000 DSL 100 or a Peavey Windsor: but happiness! I wanted the sound of Malclom Young: I! Finger on the other hand ...
OVERALL OPINION
I own this model for 18 months and is the same pleasure at every concert!
I dreamed of this model for 30 years and have done is very satisfying.
I have a G1910 and G1921 I played on, Hamer SATF, LP ... Either they do not come out of the closet, or I've sold ...
I like its looks, its comfort, lightness, its sounds, its versatility
Like least: nothing! Or maybe the price ....
The quality / price ratio is perfect. For many years I did not understand what could motivate such a price for this model. I understand now that the quality of materials, construction and fittings require a high price.
