interesting vid, but also fuck you for playing "the lick" lol

Mine were made Korea..love them.

The guitar is capable of a great many levels of volume.

Unfortunately the American Vintage ii does not have a vintage finish. It's plasticized "nitro" sprayed over a very thick polyurethane finish.

I think you forgot to mention an important detail, which is the G5422 having a maple center block inside the body, while the other guitar is completely hollow body. I hope I'm correct.

Elvis Costello is doing guitar reviews now? 😮

Frank here from THE MEMPHIS SUNS....Dynasonics are the real deal Twang Gretsch pickup...Just more of everything!. Cheers...nice work boys.

Loved the lo-fi thing!

I think it depends a lot of the shape of your hand and even of the fingers... So the best way is to try different guitars neck shapes to know what is the good one for each of us

I was screaming out for some rocking chord tones

I already have a bag of 0000 steel wool "wire wool" OK Mate and I'm going to alter my acoustic guitar neck. Easy fix if you have sanding and polishing skills. Video is big help. Thanks much from Yuma AZ. Cheers!

What on earth

Happy holidays all🎉

Taaaaaaasty playing brother!! That's stellar stuff

Excellent playing!

Wonderful playing.

Gretsch still amazes. That's a lot more than $500 worth of guitar. You make it sound like a big - expensive - Jazz box!

One of the best & most informative demo's on YT. The side-by-side of the 'Trons vs. the 'Sonics is EXACTLY a comparison I have been wanting to hear for years. Thanks for putting this together, & for getting right to it!!

This amp sounds incredible with a Strat, i am very surprised that's a Blues Jr! Great Video, great guitars, i have the 61 in fiesta red , amazing guitar!

Jet makes very sorted guitars for the money. Good call.

I love my Gretsch's!

thank you!! keep it up

My 57 AVRI neck is more a C than a V and has a unique feel that makes it magical at least to Me and isnt that what a guitar or neck supposed to do, Inspire you to play

can you turn off the background music?

Great review but annoying BG music in speaking parts

Gretsch is a brand that can deliver a $10 guitar that just feels premium. I always loved gretsch because of George Harrison and my first one was an electromatic pro jet with bigsby, since then i bought someting like 6 other guitars and none brought me THAT feeling i had when i first played my electromatic, what a fucking guitar... This year i bought a chet atkins country gentlemen, just like the one george used during the ed sullivan show in 1964 and boy... what a mustang! But i still love my electromatic. The fact is that Gretsch is a underrated brand, people wlays look for Gibsons and Fenders and buy a lot a crap and don't look at Gretsch, i don't know if it's because Gretsch looks like a guitar for playing old tunes or maybe everyone just think that they are too expensive, but gretsch has the REAL rock n' roll sound, filtertrons can deliver you a sound in between a P90 and a Humbucker, and that's the big deal about gretsch. Boy... i love gretsch! PS: I have fenders, epiphones a yamaha and a rickenbacker but still gretsch seems to be a more versatile guitar. By the way, my fender is a telecaster with a filter tron on the neck haha

02:03 “You can roll tone off, but keep it from…[inaudible indecipherable bus-station P.A. speaker departures announcement spoken by any adult from the Charlie Brown “Peanuts” cartoons]” 🤣 😂 🤣. Had to rewind & watch twice in order to understand, but then when I understood, omfg !! 😂 You guys are stellar. Salutations and Appreciation from the United States.

For gods sake, play something worth listening too.

I have the vintage 2 (bought first) and the Ultra (both maple necks). I prefer the vintage 2 for looks, feel, smell (nitro) sound and case, but the ultra is more playable. The pro 2 is great but now with these two theres no point. I do think that for most of people the pro would be better than vintage and ultra. If its a Tele, I want it regardless!!

Very good video. the guy on the left is very humble

Sounded great until you used that lo-fi thing.

Love a P90

Yes please

Underrated, skilful playing, thank you!

🤘👍🏿

An excellent demo and discussion. I prefer the maple fretboard and v-shaped neck of the 57 and the pickups have a great expressive clarity. It would be more contrasted with my other strats as something different (the seafoam green looks great too). But really, I will probably go with the 61 because of the more usable dynamic range of the pickups. That fiesta red looks really good, but it does remind me of creepy radioactive dishes from the time; I'd probably pick that one anyway. Thanks for the additional info.

I bought this guitar over the summer from Sweetwater - it is wonderful! I like it better than my LP Classic. This one has mojo, grind, grunt, and plays like butter - nice thick neck. It stays in tune (reasonably) at gigs, Its light. Feels good to play standing up. Highly recommend!

A further choice is the Ash body on some of the ‘57 Strats.

Nice! Is that fender cab a 2x15? So cool

Nice work 🎸😊

Great demo bro. Well done

Excellent demo without the comedy routine. Seem like two nice, smart fellars. Good going, guys...Thanks!

I wonder how this compares to the 75 edition deluxe

Guitars must be heard with clean sounds, without overdrive or distortion otherwise your videos, not only yours but all those fixated with effects, are useless

Just bought this from Project Music along with the Atkins Boosh. Amazing guitars and amazing shop.

My first real fender highway strat i couldnt play because the strings were like a rainbow to me so i had to lower all the strings in the middle to match my high and low e then i fell in love with it just felt great

Love my Tele, but...

I’ve been looking at videos for years to try to find a reason to get a Special. This is easily the best piece of inspiration. Lovely stuff.

You can’t compare pickups if it isn’t the same guitar. With a strat the maple neck/fretboard is just going to sound different than the rosewood fretboard. These pickups sound different but you can’t get a good judgement using 2 different fretboard woods.

Fantastic absolutely have a great day ❤😊
