bro played a new loathe track and thought we wouldnt notice

[@ilijatomic4976]

Even his Loathe shirt is so discreet :D

[@gabrielpeters929]

I’m getting one soon, so awesome to see your evaluation of it!!

[@thedutchdjentleman]

Outro track slaps so hard. Congrats on the new fiddle man!

[@douchecraft3113]

the demo track is SO SICK. You fkin rock doggie

[@JGSondaar]

could you make a video on how you get a tone like this? it sounds lovely and I'd love to know your thought process behind it all.

[@Neophetamine]

Ah, the sneaky rabea riff in there for taste :D Thats a instant Subscribe right there!

[@zaiaku3430]

I’m trying to remember which tune it was!

[@RaynP]

@@zaiaku3430it’s the Djent 2020 one 👀

[@zaiaku3430]

@@RaynP shweet, much thanks!

[@pasyensyatv9092]

squeaky clean! gorgeous guitar

[@bolillo5013]

That low chug tease got me...

[@kev_meistr]

Finally got to see Loathe in person at Sick New World here in Vegas. 🔥 I’ve been addicted to this tone since. Very interested in hearing what new pickups would unlock for this guitar!

[@johnconnearnmusic]

SO here for this

[@ilijatomic4976]

I bought 28" scale baritone and from the first moment i knew that it will be my all time type of guitars. This Gretsch is really grabbing my attention! Love the SLAMMING song man!!!

[@paulbradshawguitar]

great review, and agreed on a lot of those points, pickup height can help a bit (you can cut up a mouse pad to raise the height) and also use a screwdriver to raise the pole pieces i found there's quite a bit of sympathetic ringing (above the nut and below the bridge) but that's easy enough to deal with i settled for now on a drop F# setup with light strings that really helps for clarity i think too

[@liodwika]

Daaamnn Rayn Pickup x Gretsch already? We cooking around here damnnn

[@whyharleyt]

Thank you Tim you the goat

[@jasonaaron1077]

I just bought one same color a month ago! Highly recommend it! I’ve played standard guitar for over 20 years. Bartone is the way to go love the low. Yes great quality. I got it from Sweetwater.

[@bagelwtff]

I’ve been frothing at the mouth to get this exact one, my 21st coming soon lmfao so here’s hoping 🙏

[@phonk8733]

that's sick dude!

[@lattjeful]

Great video! Any chance you'll be planning on any more pickup videos? I'd love to see you maybe rewind the bridge in this baritone or something cool like that.

[@saylessstuff]

I have this guitar and to get a decent tone the signal chain gets really crazy. One vst that helps a lot to get definition on the low frequencies is Gullfoss live, I pair it with Saturn from Fabfilter. That goes into any neural DSP sim and sounds a lot better than the direct input. Great video!

[@electricmeatpuppet]

Try a microamp or EP booster with the Gretsch into Nameless... ;)

[@bocksmit9777]

Instrument made for french pop and dark type stuff... Complains about literally retro specs and shape. Love it

[@hannahallerton685]

yay!!!

[@RaynP]

Thanks for picking it up for me while I was away hehe

[@lucentguitars]

I recently found the jade grey in second hand and it's wonderful

[@guillermodobler6031]

sounds great

[@plumpdy5810]

Got the same one, it came set up in b standard though!! And I prefer that tuning tbh

[@AndrewP]

Hey there, great review! Tried one in a guitar store. Didn't like the neck profile and the body contour didn't sit right with me. Ended up getting he Squier cabronita baritone instead. Btw, what drumkit are you using for the song at the end?

[@exiledtzar6773]

Beautiful sounds! What are the tune you playing at 12:12 ? Sounds so good 😢

[@KadeKalka]

love the Omori shirt!! 💖

[@calebafile4306]

My friend has one and I tend to find sitting in like a classical guitar position is the best for it

[@paulbladder2]

i bought this guitar last year and i love it but you're right about the low end. it gets so blurry that i've been having trouble getting a crispy articulate tone without the noise floor peeking through noticeably. whats your signal chain??

[@shredenvain7]

Love the guitar. Have you tried a boost to tighten up that super low C string? A precision drive or even a TS9 might do the trick or a 5 band eq.

[@sncdmr4021]

Hi Ryan , I’d love to know what drill size did you use to get the 105 gauge through? Thank you ❤.

[@joellesueur5379]

Hey man, Great Video! Have you ever thought about putting an Evertune Bridge in one of those?

[@AYAiYaiYaiYai]

A Quad Cortex rhythm preset for E/C#AEADF# would be nice. Also I've seen people retrofit these with a regular humbucker -sized Bare Knuckle Impulse on the bridge and it sounds gnarly.

[@thecoyote5000]

WANT WANT WANT

[@Anarch0s]

I have the same drill! it's a good drill.

[@mtus647]

Bro, for the pickups, DiMarzio just came out with new Filtertron style pickups (PAF and Super Distortion) and they could help you get a better tone Nice video, btw

[@Hesuklista_]

Do u have the Subzero Baritone too?

[@floridawilldrown]

Bro has the exact loathe profile they use… I wish I could achieve that 😂

[@mateocosta2840]

How much does it weigh?

[@teleray23]

If you want to have real fun, get one with a Bigsby on it 😁.

[@gennyrasulo4977]

Ryan pls if you rewound your pickups let us non how you did it and maybe make a pair of it that we could buy😭❤️

[@scornthegreat7336]

God damn I want one too, they're so fucking cool. C'mon Gretsch, make a left hand model!

[@HollowEmptiness]

GET LOATHED

[@NoirMethod]

Rabea djent riff goes hard

[@aiuhwuh]

[@johnnyjacobsen5931]

Would be cool if they made this guitar for lefties!

[@atlen6137]

This is the best intro I've ever seen.

[@alinack69]

[@kotten___]

[@RaynP]

Miss you too!!!

[@Hyperlink1337]

not a fan of that style of music at all but based you're fronting an omori shirt with multiple zoom-ins. that's fuckin rock and roll man

[@diazzsama]

buy 7s gauge strings. Tune it to E standard.

[@AndreNavacinsk]

Dude please let me do some vocal tracks on top of that absolute *BANGER* you just dropped on us like it’s not a big deal to compose something this good 😂 It’s free HMU if you’re interested. purely for the sake of making good music Please ? 🥲

[@AndreNavacinsk]
