Stumbled onto this guitar by accident on YouTube Sunday afternoon. Saw an excellent review at Andertons UK video page. Did some homework and pulled the plug on Monday afternoon , arrived at my house Wed. morning. FAST SHIPPING. Triple Boxed! 95% reviews of this guitar are positive, you get the minor few where needs set up, which i was expecting. Came with a Gretsch inspection checklist. Slight tuning, and I was off. Set up was spot on! No too high or low, no sharp frets. Tuners hold tune! Lightweight body. Chambered, which i love. Hold sustain! Neck is similar to a Les Paul. Smooth, Fast. I played clean for awhile, until i hit the GAIN..and this axe sounds more like AC/DC than my Gibson SG. LOVE the TONE. 5 stars to Gretsch and zZOUNDS! Amazing axe for the money, honey.
