Feature:
I consider the tremlo-bar a plus? I don't use it,but others might?

Quality:
I wouldn't say its the best made guitar? are the worst? Its a very good (guitar/value) guitar!

Value:
yes this product is worth its price.

Desirability:
I bought the orange,and its looks damn good !

Sound:
Its got the Twang Factor,sounds great,sounds even better in recording.Its not for every type of music but when it comes to (product/value)its a good deal !

Ease of Use:
Its like all guitars,trial and error on what sound your shooting for?

Support:
no i haven't.

Overall:
The reason i gave the guitar a 9 instead of a 10 is because you can't find a hardshell case for this guitar anywhere? the ones you do find,that will fit? cost almost as much as the guitar? Its crazy!!

Feature:
Super and I too agree the tuners had me stopping for a minute...they are thin...would like a bit heavier cast set of tuners.

Quality:
Tuners...pickguard minor issue...clear?!? What's up with that!!??

Value:
Not cheap... but a good instrument.

Desirability:
Sex appeal...not to me! But eye appeal...100%

Sound:
I'm a bass player and I bought one...but really loved it when my friend came over and player it like it should be played! The sound is great very full and yet switching from strumming to picking does let the sound get buried.

Ease of Use:
The sound I get - is the sound I was looking for...and the ease of playing finished off the sale!

Support:
N/A

Overall:
I will keep it. I would only get another guitar that offers a different body and tone.

Sound:

User: a customer from yahoo.com
Submitted: 4/19/2009
Style of Music: 1950's and early 60's Rock"n"Roll
Musical Experience: Fifty years of pro-music,recorded on Segway label. The Chevelles/The Echoes
Location: Dunnellon,Fla. , United States

 

 
Feature:
The guitar was styled after the 6120,which has been referred to as the Eddie Cochran,Chet Atkins,Duane Eddy,and lets not forget my good friend,Brian Setzer,guitar,need I say more.

Quality:
The luthiers that made these guitars are the best in the business,the woods are selected for durability,the work that goes into each one is way beyond the comprehension of a wood worker,these people are artist, they are built to last,and yes,I own twelve,from the 6120,5120,5122.

Value:
This is a yes,it is worth the money,and they will never loose value.

Desirability:
Chicks dig guitarist,especially when they have a unique looking guitar, Gretsch offers that and more.

Sound:
First,I've been playing a long time,over fifty years,this is a Gretsch gentlemen,I own forty four guitars,ranging from Fender,Martin,Gibson, and of course,the Rolls-Royce,Gretsch.It was and still remains the ultimate sound of the fifties early Rock"n"Roll,after all I should know,I am the guy that started The Chevelles and The Echoes,and still perform.

Ease of Use:
It's a Gretsch man,if you know how to play this is the one for you.

Support:
The company is now a part of the Fender Guitar company,in California,they are very helpful.

Overall:
My first Gretsch,bought in 1959 is still in primo condition,does that answer your question?

Feature:
While I absolutly love this guitar, the tuning pegs/machine screws are cheap. The guitar stays in tune, but they are just thin, cheap, and look out of place on such a finely made instrument. The Bigsby is terrific! I know a lot of people complain about the clear pick guard. It's a pick guard people. Remove it, replace it, or stop complaining. Personally, I don't have a problem with it. Should come with a case though.

Quality:
This is a relatively lower cost guitar right? You would never know it from the quality. Just terrific from top to bottom, (with the exception of the tuning pegs). Yes, it's made in Korea. So is your car. Stop worrying about it. You can't go wrong here.

Value:
This guitar is a tremendous value. Sound, quality, looks, it's all there and for under a grand. I own other, higher priced, guitars. But this one is the one I play more of ten than not. Fun and inspiring.

Desirability:
I am biased as I own this guitar, but I gotta say the thing is beautiful. I own the hot "country orange" and it's a damn fine looking guitar. Sounds even better than it looks.

Sound:
Top quality at an affordable price. I love this guitar. It's just so much fun to play. Great roots/surf twang off the bridge pickups. Nice fat crunch off the middle and neck pickups. Very versitile guitar. NOT just for country/roots. Even sounds decent when it's not plugged in. When was the last time you could use a "whammy" with your acoustic? You can't go wrong with this guitar and you can buy it without saving up for a year or so.

Ease of Use:
No mysteries with this guitar. I'm a novice player and I had no problem with this guitar at all. It's terrifically easy to play. Very versitile and forgiving.

Support:
No experience.

Overall:
Love it.

Feature:
I think it is adequate. I love knobs and switches, the more the better.

Quality:
I checked this guitar thoroughly, have not found any at all.

Value:
I always thought that Gretsch guitars were out of my price range from previous experiences. When I saw the price of my G5120SB I immediately bought it and I'll never regret it. I will purchase another Gretsch soon.

Desirability:
I don't care about sex appeal, what I love is guitars and making music.

Sound:
The sound I heard when I played the G5120 was by far the best music that my ears had heard in a long long time.

Ease of Use:
I fell in love with it when I saw it, I fell in lust with it when I played it.

Support:
I have no issues as of yet, So I can't rate them.

Overall:
I'll keep it forever. I've always wanted one, now that i've got this Gretsch guitar I'll never part with it.

Quality:
not great on the quality. raw wood very apparent, especially at the base of the neck near the sound hole. looks cheaply made. clear pick guard adds to the cheap look.

Sound:
sounds like it's upposed to. no complaints there.
