This is a fantastic looking and sounding guitar. Right out of the box everything was set up great.(It was even in correct tuning) I played this in the store sitting down and it was very easy to play so i had them grab me a new one in the back. I brought it home and hooked on a strap and all of a sudden it was WAY more difficult to play while standing up. unless you have it hanging very high up or very low it's a bit hard to play good. i play electric folk punk and mix in alot of palm mutes so it was hard to play this guitar with my style. but none the less a great guitar and i would recommend it. just try it with a strap first to make sure it suites your playing style.

Excellent classic Gretsch sound from the Imitation Filter-trons. Doesn't have the sustain of a solid body but that's the way it's supposed to be; all those solid body Metal guitars tend to sound alike but nothing sounds like a Gretsch! You can also play it unplugged! Bigsby doesn't affect tuning (unless you lean on it which will happen with ANY Trem or Vibrato)! Mine has the floating bridge which makes re-stringing trickier but enables you to get the intonation spot-on! I also absolutely love the appearance! It is flawless! It doesn't come with a case but a dreadnought acoustic case fits perfectly. Don't Let the Mid-range price fool you. This Guitar is just as good as the US made models and is definately worth the money.

The guitar arrived at my house perfectly setup. The action is low with no fret buzz. The neck is smooth and the medium frets are very nicely finished. The overall appearence is all I could hope for. The sound is all Gretsch. I would buy this guitar if you are looking for a hollowbody in this price range. I have three other guitars and yet I find myself picking this one up first. I play through a Fender Hot Rod Delux amp and I also use an amp modeler through my P A system.

Flawless right out of the case...I have a Gibson es-335, Les Paul Custom, SG, and IÆll tell you this guitar is really right up there in performance. Better than the SG, and a sound almost equal to Es-335 for a fraction of the price. Good beefy blues tones 3- way switch, lots of sustain, good twang, I'm flat out surprised at the performance of this guitar.
