I am a prior owner of the Gretsch Tennessee Rose and Country Gentleman. Decided it is time to replace the instrucments so I ordered the Tennessee Rose. Set up nicely out of the case. The fit and finish was spotless. After playing this instrument I was ready to kick myself for selling the others! I had forgotten how wonderful the action is on these fine (made in Japan) Pro models from Gretsch). I also own Fender Strat and Tele, Gibson Les Paul's, SG, and ES335, all super fine instruments. I keep going back to the Tennessee Rose!

Musical Background:

I have been playing guitar/bass for about 50 years. At this stage it is mostly jamming with friends.

Musical Style:

My musical interests are classic rock, country, bluegrass, and blues. My three favorite groups are the Beatles, REO, and Eagles
