Gretsch G2420T STRML HLW SC BRNDWN

My only negative on the sound is the Broadtron pickups, which you may want to upgrade, though for this price this is a good entry into the Gretsch world. The strings were buzzing just a touch on unboxing, and I thought..well just let her settle. Sure enough the action raised a bit over a month or so... and either sheer luck etc... now is perfect. You can of couse adjust these with the turn of a screw, so a mute point. The pickups are just really , well, MUDDY. If you like that sort of thing, GO FOR it. But I will have to get clearer, cleaner pickups for the bridge, as I need a nice Jazz sound. It is just a REALLY FUN guitar.

EDIT two months later... I bought a Harley Benton 1 12 Celestion cab to couple with a Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister, and the difference is stunning. The dymanic response, slightest finger touch , just SHINES. I was running the HK direct using the Redbox, and turns out you really need a speaker load to make the amp/hollowbody GLOW. Now I have to say, this is the guitar I most often grab for. The natural feedback is stunning, so much fun with the tremolo. Again the Boradtrons are a bit muddy, but overall now when run through a real speaker, they are REALLY NICE.... just not that total clear perfection. I do note the transients are MUCh improved with the Celestions. The Bigsby holds tuning even with crazy dives.

Nach ausgiebiger Recherche wollte ich diese Gitarre in den Händen halten.
Das Instrument erfüllt fast alle meine Erwartungen.
Das Instrument ist sehr gut verarbeitet, sieht wirklich gut aus und macht einen hervorragenden Gesamteindruck. Die Lautstärke ohne Verstärker reicht für zu Hause vollkommen aus. Sehr gut ist der dünne Hals zum Spielen mit kleineren Händen. Der Klang ist gut, nur die vielen Potentiometer stören mich - aber das ist bei Gretsch nun mal so.
Sehr empfehlenswert!
