Brand New for 2023 ! First play of the Gretsch Electromatic GG5210T

Have Gretsch done it again? the brand new P90 loaded 5210T. Quick demo and chat. Some very cool tones indeed.#gretsch

[@philkaelin9779]

Bought one in Petrol! Fantastic guitar after some fine tuning .

[@jamessilver2748]

Wow, just wow!!!! What an awesome guitar. Gretsch have done it again. Thanks for mentioning the pedal, I'm not to clued up on them so any info really helps Damon. That guitar in your hands could play any genre of music & sound outstanding. Great vid thank you 👍

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

Thanks James!

[@superelectic45]

Dammit, I've just bought a G5220 and now Gretsch bring this out! Sounds great, spanky and clear

[@kingstumble]

Yours is the first demo of this guitar I have seen Damon. Excellent as always. It looks great---the other colours are good too. I especially like the one in Cadillac Green. It does sound good but for me the P90s on the Streamliners appeal more. Fatter and creamier.

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

Thank you kindly!

[@badscrew4023]

I've tested the Streamliner P90s and found them too wooly, not enough treble in them.

[@kingstumble]

@@badscrew4023 So have I. Personal preference isn't it. I don't like bright sounding pickups. First thing I do with any guitar is turn the tone control down. Remember the so called "woman tone?" Well, that's my sound!

[@attilathehun0]

Now that's some beautiful sounding clean music!👍👍

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

Why thank you sir!!

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

These are great guitars. I have the g2010. Perfectly made.

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

Yes they are!

[@09geetarman]

Got one yesterday, sounded very classy indeed in the shop. Bandleader on hols this week so won't get the chance to use it 'in anger' until the weekend after next, but first impressions at home are very good - very well set up, and with Gretsch now being owned by Fender it would be nice if contemporary Fenders were put together and finished anywhere near as well as this comparatively inexpensive set-neck Gretsch. Which must cost rather more to put together properly than a bolt-on neck instrument.

[@badscrew4023]

That's a very sharp looking guitar. The P90s sound great too, much better highs than their "staple top" P90s from the Streamliner series.

[@darrendanger6853]

I've owed this one for a year now. It only has one real drawback and that is the tuners. It is struggle keeping it in tune. So a little googling and off to Reverb I went, apparently the Gotoh SG381's locking tuners will fit this guitar without drilling holes. But I won't know for sure until I order them.

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

@@darrendanger6853 that’s a good point though. One of the things that lower end guitars suffer from is tuning stability. I often change them in my guitars. 🎸 an out of tune guitars is no use to anyone!!

[@marvo10]

Check the tuners are bad on mine, stripped!! Replaced them with schallers. Now it's perfect!

[@Varmint260]

It's beautiful! Had my eyes on one of these in Amethyst, but no sign that Gretsch will make these in lefty, sadly!

[@markgatland977]

Ah, it's good to hear that Hendrix lick again 😉...that guitar does indeed sound killer. Good stuff!

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

Thanks dude🪕

[@macfawlty]

This is a great new model for Gretsch. The P90s are really beefy. I’ve considered a Les Paul, but everyone and their grandma has a LP. Ultimately, I bought the G2655T P90.

[@Anjohl]

The Gretsch control layout is better IMHO.

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

Thanks Allan

[@marvo10]

Check the tuners. I had to replace mine with schallers. Now its perfectomundo!!

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

@@marvo10 yes mate. Agree, the one thing that let’s cheaper guitars down

[@fuu8126]

What tuners did you buy? And will they fit this guitar without drilling? I'm looking for replacement tuners.

[@marvo10]

@fuu8126 no drilling with schaller replacement tuners from zzounds. Perfect fit and performance. $120 well worth the price....

[@FreeWilly1966]

Hi Damon, I've been studying guitar for a couple of years, due to your experience what model of Gretsch I could use to play the blues, I would prefer a solid body

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

Hi Willy. Any of the Jets will do it . The Humbucking versions area little louder and have tad more sustain that the P90's, which have a lovely midrange push to them. Best to try them if you can mate to compare.

[@FreeWilly1966]

@@damonthegnomeoftonechivers Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them, there is a models with both P90 and Humbucker, the G2215-P90 Streamliner, could it be a good combination? I saw your demo about it

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

@@FreeWilly1966 great combo. Also really easy to mod. I would put a paf pro or ‘59 in the bridge.

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

@@FreeWilly1966 yes dude. I would change the bridge humbucker to paf style.

[@FreeWilly1966]

@@damonthegnomeoftonechivers see you soon on a demo

[@manuelGroo1]

Bro i need your help im going to buy one of 2 of the guitars u have here, this gretsch or the gold gfoild tele help me decide pleaseeeee wich one un your opinion hold up better

[@damonthegnomeoftonechivers]

Hi Manuel. The Gold Foil Tele is a much higher spec instrument. Solid Mahogany body and ebony board etc. But this Gretsch is very vibey and also sounds great. SO if you can afford it, go with the Tele I think.

[@Hickeroar]

How did you get ahold of this? I can’t find them in stock anywhere. Preorder only😢

[@SafeHavenMusicNY]

These launch in Mid-March in the US.
