What are the advantage of using a Gretsch Guitar?

[stringman]

I always wanted to own a Gretsch white falcon.

mga pare, ano yung Gretsch na ginagamit ni Joe Perry minsan sa mga concert ng Aerosmith? panalo rin yun ah..

gretches have a twang to them because of the pickups and the make but they are mahogany guitars - i owned a Gretch Sparkle Jet in the past and it was nice but it was too bright like the Rickenbacker guitars. I eventually settled in on the Guild S100 and Guild Bluebird guitars I have now. they are much warmer sounding and suits jazz, metal and rock equally well....

hey abyss,
may guild bluesbird ka pala!  how does it sound with hi gain stuff? Can you get a convincing b.sabbath crunch from it? mukang mas madali hanapin ang bluesbird kaysa s-100...although mukang malapit nako makakuha ng s-100, sana matuloy na to.


On gretsch, I'm just starting to do my research on those guitars...they remind me of Chris Cornell and Malcom Young though..

the Bluesbird is wider than a LP but seems to have a beefier neck. it handles high gain stuff pretty well like S-100. it has a slightly trebly tone than has just enough bottom end to it when you do dropped tuning riffs.

oh the Gretsch.. isa sa WISH  list ko. Heto eye opener. well actually Gretsch guitars stopped US production... kaya Japanese made na sila. and to top it all 2000$ yung price nung karamihan..like yung falcon at lalo na yung brian setzer model na nasa 2,500$ na yata.. the orig ones sell for 9,999, 95$.. i saw one last night na bulok na at kulay green pa. 5,500$
the sound? bagay ito sa country kasi me " twang" yung sound.
sa case ni brian setzer - rockabilly kasi siya at tamang tama yung tunog. kasama sa style nila Chet atkins at mga "country"  musicians. me similarity siya sa sound sa rickenbacker pero mas matining ang rickenbacher. george harisson uses both gretsch at rickenbacker kung **** niyo. pero nag settle siya sa tele.

same observation

Tried a bunch of gretschs during my last trip at tomlees- gusto ko sana bumili ng 6120 or the anniv model... tested them through a fender deluxe reverb.... i was disappointed w/ the finish, set up and sound... kaya wala akong nabili.... still looking for one- sana makahanap ako

Si Manny Pacquiao (the boxer) used a Gretsch guitar for his album.
    I'm not sure kung cya talaga ang naggitara dun, pero sure ako na kaya nyang bumili ng ganung guitar. Mas maganda sana kung nag-Travis picking cya sa song nya "para sayo ang laban na to.

Bawal kasi "T I T I" sa posts.  Grabe filter no?

He may have. I'm just basing my opinion from what I saw in the album pictures. He was holding a white Ibanez Artcore. Halata kasing Artcore kasi meron nung circle with lightning going through it.
Tinanggal nga lang yung "Ibanez" sa guitar sa album cover. I think they don't want to be 'endorsing' a particular brand.
