THE GUITAR IN THIS VIDEO HAS SOLD! CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO CHECK OUT MORE!
This ferocious flamed maple monster is one of my favorite masterbuilt Gretsches I've ever played! This serial has huge, booming low end, a slight scoop in the mdis, and some serious snarl in the treble. The neck pickup sounds like what would happen if a subwoofer had a baby with a grand piano, and flicking to the bridge position feels like stepping into an AC/DC record. This is Gretsch is very capable of rocking and/or rolling, but through a clean amp you can get all sorts of jangly rhythm tones and darker jazzy sounds, too! This guitar would make a fine addition to any collector's quiver, but it'd be especially great for anyone seeking a masterbuilt with a mean streak a mile long.
