Music Style: Blues, rock, jazz
Back to Product Information
Sound: Positively growls on high gain and has a bell like chyme on clean. I play blues to folk to rock, from finger picking to lead all a joy with this guitar. To make this guitar sound better put new strings on it as soon as you get it and raise the action. Initially i experiences a bit of frett buzz but got rid of it by raising the action. Feature: No accessories Ease of Use: Very easy to play the neck is very fast a dream to play. All pup posotions are sweet. Quality: Beautiful guitar excellent build quality. Has the build quality od a guitar three times the price I gave it a 9 because I had to tighten the pick guard and the neck pick up minor ajustment. No need to complain foe such a wonderful guitar at so low a price Value: Best value for money around, get one before they are all gone or the company realises that they are selling below its value I cant believe the quality I don't care if it is built in china it could have been built in USA. Manufacturer Support: No need The Wow Factor: Oh! My god mine is a gold one and it is beautiful. the frets are jumbo and the fret board is rose wood and bound. I will have this guiatr for ever and i have three fenders also. I really feel a smile across my fave every time I platy it. Overall: For ever If it was stolen I wouls buy another straight away

Sound: great sound and the bigsby does not take it out of tune and make sure you put the washer on the outside of the bigsby system. Feature: great guitar just you might want to replace the tuneing keys and keep it nice cause it's a kick but guitar for a lower end gretsch. Ease of Use: great action feels alot like a less paul on the neck but its just a great guitar. you get good tone out of it when you play through a good amp. Quality: this guitar is made well. but the only thing you should do is change the tuners. thats all it needs and if you play in band and travle alot this gretsch is very dependable. Value: yes cause it has the traditional bigsby tremelo system. Manufacturer Support: i have not had one problem with this guitar. The Wow Factor: mine has a gold sparkle top and is a beautiful guitar. Overall: i say along time. this guitar if you want to keep it for along time keep it nice and don't abuse it. i would try to get a hardshell case for it. i would get a tlk artcore case. it best fitted for the guitar.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The sound was good but far too dark and warm for what I needed and also the pick-ups were too quiet which was one of the main factors for returning this. Feature: No accessories, the Bigsby was nice though. Ease of Use: Neck is thin, felt more thin than a Fender, also the body/neck feels short so if you are looking for a smaller guitar, this is it. Quality: The guitar looks really nice, but I worry about the strap-pins coming loose and falling off. If this was taken on the road, a hard case is a must. Value: Very pricey for lower-end guitars. Wanted to try out something other than the Epiphone Dots and Fender Blacktop series, but for the money you can't beat either of those (own 2 of each). This comes in about $150 more not including a hard-case which if you do any touring, would be recommended. Overall: Ended up returning this for another Fender Blacktop Jazzmaster. We have a few vintage guitars we don't like to tour with and wanted some cheaper replacements. The Blacktop series are solid built and super loud which were two main things we were after.

Sound: The sound is awesome Gretsch Classic Tone! That TV Jones are really great! Feature: Solid body mahogany or walnut, its all solid to me although a bit heavy but that where we get that infinite sustain and tone anyway! Ease of Use: Very classic and warm, better tone than any other guitar with below 500.00 dollars price tag. Quality: Well made except the Tuners but I will replace it with locking sperzel soon. other than that very solid construction throughout. Value: Best bang for the buck!! Manufacturer Support: Have not use it yet, hope I will not be calling them soon. The Wow Factor: What can I say its Gretsch and all the quality and workmanship are well noted! Overall: I am very happy and satisfied about this guitar. This will be my main axe for a while and my G&L Tele will be my backup. Very Well made even though it was made overseas.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
