Gretsch G5232T Double Jets - '80s Inspired Tones!

[@GuitarBob6]

Sitting here getting chemo watching this and cracking up at the face on the back of Rob’s guitar! I look like I’m insane! Thanks guys!

[@Mick-Dempsey]

I wish you alll the best to you brother.

[@georgesuarez1949]

God bless you

[@aeroshack]

Been in the same seat. You have all my best wishes.

[@bigteno4597]

Get well my friend.

[@lueysixty-six7300]

Onya battler! Yer never so down that a bit of a daft laugh - ala, with these pair of clowns - can't brighten your spirits and just maybe bring a smile to your lips. Smile on, Soldier.. 💜 🙂

[@LiamE69]

"I'll do you some clean tones first" Sure you will Chappers.

[@JeremyKolassa]

Ah, I see Rob has also graduated from the Fluff School of "Clean" Tone

[@rileyramone6231]

Rob: 'I'll do some clean tones first.' Lee: 'That's not very..' Rob: 'BBBRGGHHHH'

[@RC32Smiths01]

Definitely lives up to the whole 80s classic rock I do believe. You can never go wrong with a Gretcsh indeed! Cheers for this showcase

[@RC32Smiths01]

@P. Taylor You know, there is probably quite some truth to that lol

[@EliseoCaporale]

Fender runs Grestch, but the guitars are done in many other places, factories, and the Grestch company is a company by itself, that belongs to Fender, as Jackson and Squier. They can have better quality in their guitars because the company runs separated from Fender.

Not too long ago, I got to play that red one in a store and instantly vibed with it. I loved the tone, the feel of the neck, the way it played, the fit and finish. Everything about it was awesome. I never ended up buying one, but now I think I might as it's a guitar I never really got out of my head. You know, like a lover you never got to be with but never forgot. I never really was into the red color, either as I wanted the blue one but for some reason, that red stuck in my head as it was the one I liked. So, I'm going to get a red one because hell yes.

[@BudgetRC_Channel]

so... it's 2 years later. Did you buy it?

[@belo1971]

The orange is awesome !!!!! What a great finish ....love it

[@frankieconcepcion7860]

The Cult tones are amazing balls we need a sounds like Billy Duffy

[@gpvboats]

Been asking for ages!

[@NegativeBodhiImage]

Ackschually She Sells Sanctuary was on the album Love - not Electric.

[@barkinstarfish]

Yes, and it was a far better album than Electric!

[@joelcamp5445]

barkinstarfish Both albums are great, for slightly different reasons!

[@NegativeBodhiImage]

@@barkinstarfish agreed

[@NegativeBodhiImage]

@@joelcamp5445 agreed

[@travispierson2058]

True. But Electric should still be in your catalog, along with Love and Sonic Temple.

[@SawWaveSurfer]

I love this song so much, you don't even know. Thank you for the nostalgia.

[@jtb1990419]

Rob: *does great pull up tremolo lick* Lee: Oh! I thought you were gonna snap the tremolo arm off there! Rob: I would have tried for the glory of the Cult.

[@orcaflotta7867]

Cool, I wasn't the only one hearing a bit of Cult in the riff. ;)

[@DaveTaste]

Any more subtitles?

[@Podcastforthewin]

Malcolm young was one of the best rhythm guitarist of all time. Amazing song writer as well.

[@riphopfer5816]

Loved to hear you guys jamming The Cult! That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear when I saw ‘Gretsch’ and ‘80s’.

[@Anonymous.android]

Just bought the gold one and I'm in love

[@timmiller9715]

Hey there Chappers and Captain! Love your videos! Cheers from me down in Melbourne!

[@stateofblitz]

I love the shape of this guitar.

[@stephanierising4368]

Just got this for my birthday today. Love it.

[@hotwheels1838]

Sweet....I just got the baby blue w/gold hardware......beauties indeed

[@frankifran5335]

Man that purple finish is gorgeous

[@leewhitworth9142]

The googly eyes on the back of the guitar gag was GENIUS!

[@olavjorvik94]

Once a year, Rob gets THE tone of the year. This was that time of 2019. WOW. Amazing tones. I really want a Gretsch now!

[@artwizardsam3238]

Love Gretsch! Always.

[@brucedelaney9606]

I was so impressed with this video that I went out and bought a gold Grech G5232T. Chapman makes this thing absolutely scream.

[@johnfritzenjr.1240]

Great solo Chappers!!!!!

[@EpictheEpicest]

The master volume is great if you want more/less volume on the fly but don't want to mess up your pickup settings for certain songs.

[@AngryAnt0]

I was never a huge fan of Gretsch until I bought my little Electormatic Jet Pro, honestly I'm now a huge fan and that cherry colour, ooofph.

[@keshin_martin]

6:26 Jack White famously has a 3 filtertron pickup Gretsch Double Jet with the copper top

[@GeorgMierau]

As well as a modified Gretsch Anniversary Junior.

[@dasdoin9600]

first thing i thought of when i saw the golden one

[@TheZooropaBaby]

wasn't that guitar basically a replica done by some independent luthier?

[@CrazyCooter-ld6sz]

Then he should learn to play it sometime.

[@riphopfer5816]

Chappers, that is THE most sustain I’ve ever heard from a Gretsch (and I’m a Gretsch owner and a Gretsch LOVER). THAT, however, was sublime. I had to do a quick rewind-(I am multitasking)-to be certain you weren’t using an E-Bow, 😂.

[@fdcentrella0069]

As far as tuning stability there is one solution I have found it's to get rid of the main culprit: the tune-o-matic bridge. Replace it with a Wayne Compton compensated bar bridge. Between that and stretching the strings it will hold the tuning much better as well as intonate just fine. The Bigsby is NOT the problem.

[@thetakenking7061]

I have the red one. It’s my favorite guitar. Plays sounds and looks awesome.

[@CosmicHippopotamus]

Obligatory Lee is good at guitar now comment.

[@sugarlife485]

hes aight not bad for a store owner

[@38Achilles]

The Boys are wearing matching Vans, they truly love each other.

[@swervature]

That has incredible sustain. Great review, guys.

[@mopetenstaub]

I actually fell in love with a surf green Junior Jet P90. Love the neck shape and the sound. It replaced my Epiphone LP Standard as main guitar and the red Duo Jet will be my next guitar I think.

[@ademayem6152]

Do you mean gretsch g2215 ?

[@johnnycondor]

I'm totally stealing your googly-eyes face motif for the new "G5232T" which I just now purchased! That's for a great and highly entertaining video, fellas! 🤪

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

It’s insane how much the Captain’s playing has improved lately. He was always good, but now his playing is on a whole other level.

[@boudicawasnotreallyallthat1020]

Hahaha.

[@frozenborderline2109]

Steve Marriot alternated between a Double Jet and a Single Cut back in his Small Faces years.

[@my1lastword]

Rob is having a lot of fun with that Bigsby. I guess he loves a Bigsby tailpiece now!

[@elibeachill]

SHE SELLS SANCTUARY

[@barry3573]

Great video guys and just an awesome showcase for those guitars. Love it

[@josephcorcoran8714]

I saw The Cult in the 80’s. They were awesome!

[@Hatari2]

Don’t forget that Chet Atkins played a Gretsch.

[@geetarbube]

The Cult! This year marks the 30th anniversary of Sonic Temple. Got my box set Friday.

[@williamcampbell7387]

Tahiti Red... the colour of tourists who drunkenly fall asleep on the beach.

[@simonbattams123]

Chappers enjoying himself way too much lol 😂👍

[@notplaying2379]

It’s a nice change to see someone associate Gretsch with the sounds of Billy Duffy and Malcolm Young rather than rockabilly

[@globalnova]

jack white too

[@grbguitar11]

Awesome. Thankyou. Such amazing Guitars.

[@veerayyahorapeti6896]

I was watching yesterday Phillip McKnight's sharpen my axe of this gretch guitar , love that and today they are with the same new guitar

[@ronrprouty]

Nice, going to see The Cult in December, this warmed me up nicely! Saw them last year and Billy Duffy was absolutely rocking the White Falcon!

[@derolfrye2495]

Finally giving the Cult some love! I got tired and gave up asking you guys to do a "sound like" on them.

[@antondelights686]

Lee... wow. That ending jam... you took it home like you owned it!

[@kentishmale1969]

The Captain at the end there was making some absolutely sweet magical tones - awesome sound and great looking guitars indeed!!

[@overdrivemejimmy6847]

Guys your tone was fantastic!

[@MarioFromMario]

These seem like great guitars. Something about the look of Gretcsh's double-cuts just doesn't do it for me though. It might be because of how symmetrical the horns are.

[@thjamaica09]

cool licks, Chapps

[@Ovoran]

Captain meets Billy Duffy incoming? ;)

[@TheDondonk]

At 13.22 what happened to Rob's coffe mug??

[@yumapigfarmer]

Great to see some love for Billy Duffy and Gretsch. And, I believe Billy played a Les Paul on most of the tracks of Electric.

[@70bluesville]

Guys that was a Bad Ass intro! Hell yah

[@JesseLeeKing]

That Tahiti red looks like a neon orange

[@rhykko77]

Loved that into Sanctuary

[@tituschalk]

Lovely bit of Cult action! Well done gents!

[@Podcastforthewin]

The fire in your eyes, keeps me alive.

[@flyingtowel807]

nice playing lee

[@sjoerdklarenbeek]

KZbin fed me a 5 minute commercial with a B&G Little Sister before the video started, that I watched entirely, so now it doesn’t really matter any more how good that Gretsch may be.

[@riheg]

I literally shat from happiness to see u did this video

[@ku812fubar4]

Guitars sound great, look great and there’s the captain playing some good guitar;let her loose captain anderton, rob of course sounding great like always.....

[@TheComedyGuitarGuy]

The two Coreys!! Corey Feldman and Corey Haim!

[@ZachHval]

Pete: it’s a signature condom! Lee: no it’s not purple

[@joaquin8637]

these guys are more and more critical about the stuff they try to sell! it's kinda funny

[@stephanfuchs7891]

What a great guitar! I love Gretsch, even more than a White Dove, sorry, Rob... But you two are great players so it's easy to make them sound great. This video really lightened my day. Thank you!

[@AMBowers29]

Gretsch is becoming one of my favorite brands. Gretsch and Squier are probably my top favorite brands

[@55maltesers]

I bought one of these, brilliant guitar, sounds awesome plays awesome. My only criticism is it has a bit of neck dive when you stand to play. But that's fixable.

[@sugarlife485]

how???

[@55maltesers]

@@sugarlife485 my trick is to wrap my strap around my belt, it seems to do the trick. Either that, or I get a cheap strap and put a caribiner on it where it needs to be on my belt to eliminate the neck dive.

[@leightnite3056]

Killer rippin Captain!

[@Tayger22]

I live in Tahiti, and Captain you should remember this flower color. Hibiscus !

[@jameslewis2635]

I never knew The Cult used Gretsch guitars. But then again, having looked up the wiki, it seems that Billy Duffy uses a White Falcoln G7593T. BTW, Bigsby trems are a lot more stable in tuning when matched with roller bridges.

[@MondoJim]

I'm glad someone chimed in with that. Tune-o-matics and Bigbys do NOT go together. Even Gretsch's rounded bar bridge works better even if intonation is compromised. But like you said...roller bridges! And some graphite in the nut slots and you are good to go. (Decades of Gretsch experience speaking here)

[@danielakerman8241]

Lee was on fire in this vid!!

[@DunsfoldDave]

I have the very similar G5655t and to help it stay in tune I had to put a roller bridge on it. Mine has a different neck PUP, has centre block construction with no rear access covers, I suppose because it’s hollow body instead of chambered.

[@sivertSt02]

Are there any «cheap» es 137 style guitars? Cuz i cant seem to find any Except from expensive gibsons that i cant afford. I only need something that looks like it or is the same style/shape

[@yaguitar]

Got to say, I've been looking at the Jet Clubs recently, but for th extra money, these really look (and sound) great!!

[@chrisnedbalek2866]

Rob: "I'll do some clean tones first." Famous last words.

[@matthewgierula5674]

Loving the CULT intro, Billy Duff is incredibly underrated!!!!!

[@opforcesabre]

that's the best ive seen lee play. this should be his guitar.

[@malungtvnews]

These were 350 quid new for years and years and are 500 or so now for no apparent reason. Only guitar I ever sold. I think it was cos of the neck dive.

[@Pulse2AM]

If you don't have his little jig down it's not Sanctuary! I've been practicing that move for years in my head and I'm ready to bust it out next time I'm on the dance floor.

[@KozmykJ]

Oh you youngsters ! "Midnight at the Oasis" was a hit for Maria Muldaur in 1974

[@thisisshaun1]

i love these videos

[@scottydog62]

I love Rob's style of playing so tasty, he could make $100 Squire sound good

[@dillingersmith6657]

could you put locking tuners on it? Would that help with the tuning?

[@oleholgerson3416]

What album is Lee referring to at 2:40 ?

[@danieldevereaux]

Darn it, now I have to go buy one of these.

[@rickhill6277]

Nice Vid Guys! Do they come in a Left Handed Version? Thanks and Cheers!

[@LivioC]

Great Guitar

[@XCracer527]

Sweet sounds! Were you gents playing through any effects pedals?

[@hchoe741]

*G52305332no50wattG5232* Ibanez: looks like we have our next model number

[@papashuvitsskateboardforth8399]

3:20 Alex Winter (first vampire to die) who was Bill of Bill and Ted.

[@LowdenFretter]

What song are they playing at the start?

[@Mark-rh2wi]

It would be really helpful to have an explanation of the amplifier and effects pedals used, at the beginning of your videos.

[@stpirate89]

Please say what amps you use in the description of these videos. I'm currently shopping for a new amp :)

[@jonskaptason8840]

What album is it they are talking about in the beginning of the video?

[@PNWGuitar]

I love the cult! Great opening jam
