Gretsch always delivers great value in build quality, let alone unstoppable tone.

[@guitarmore]

Just got one (Cadillac Green) from my local dealer. It's one of best guitars for fit and finish at any price. Absolute stunner.

[@sduos-ws6ov]

You guys are great. I must say. After a few years. Natural, honest, pleasant, informative, professional, funny, non pretentious... Thank you.

[@artrogers3985]

I couldn’t agree more! 🎸

[@Knubben71]

Damn right,they're down to earth,what i like.

[@MrTupeloFlash]

Thanks for the clean tone demo….can actually hear the guitar instead of mindless noise

[@jeffreycoles7487]

And thank you for pointing this out. Everything sounds exactly the same if enough distortion is added.

[@mikeb5372]

You prefer that girly clean stuff hah?

[@shawnbell6392]

Cooper is a solid player, enables us to really get a sense of this guitar. Many thanks.

[@pmay222]

had all the guitars over the years... cheapo..mid price... .. now age 55 i discovered gretsch....the 2215 with the p90 in the front.... BEST guitar for the money ive ever owned.... i cannot believe the quality for the £.... like a softer epi-lez... more versatile.... great tones ...i wish id discovered gretsch at a much younger age... lovely

[@ebrens]

Picked up a used G2623-P90 for a song last week, super impressed with the playability and sound

[@Santaheckler]

I love the wrap around bridge on these, but also love the unique V stop bar on the other version (that I have).

[@bomccarty4826]

Just received my new Gretsch G2655-P90. That's the Streamliner semi-hollow body with the P-90 pickups. Love it. Btw, Gretsch makes cases for both mine and the one that they are featuring here.

[@hanovergreen4091]

Just got turned on to this line via Colin at The Guitaristas. He has the Bigsby but I went looking for standard and found this. Looks like a fantastic price. Best Regards and Best Wishes guys..great work!

[@batfink7133]

Beautiful guitar. Love that color and pickguard

[@stancoleshill8925]

Both Cooper and myself really enjoyed that. Sound really nice.

[@teranitupfpv]

wow that sounds amazing 👏 thanks for sharing!

[@jackblack2321]

Great video, Cooper was awsome as usual. Coopers sidekick seems cool

[@Awaywrdson]

Aw Man !! that's A Rock Star Guitar !! Love to see it in action !! 🤘

[@Ry_Valz]

Why get a Gibson if you can have a Gretsch that's better in most aspects? Lighter, modern look, better color, better design, sound great, at a quarter of the price? It's a STEAL!!!

[@Knubben71]

Damn right

[@henrydunn9420]

There’s nothing like the sound of a Gretsch

[@markpell8979]

I'm an Epi LP fan, have five in various models, very happy with all. A buddy just got an excellent used Electromatic Jet with a gray flame top, broadtron pickups I think, killer single cut guitar. Has the V-stopbar (kinda weird but cool, like a 1960s hood ornament) and separate bridge. Seeing that and your review here of the G5210-P90 will make me consider a Gretsch Jet type or probably this very model next time if ever I buy another guitar. I like their 2622 semihollow double cut too, 335-like but Gretschy.

[@viperBSG]

Just bought a white G5410T Rat Rod. But this is firmly on my radar in the T model in purple.

[@lawrencesweeney4609]

Watching again! Great Cooper. 2nd watching 70 yrs old play 50 years 4 guitars! You know the names!!! Ha! G.F.M.T. Love em Now 5 this one also G. Greatch

[@cajunqueen5125]

I'm coming to this vid a year late, but still very helpful, thanks for posting it! 👍👍👍

[@projectmoon13]

Just bought this in single barrel burst thanks to this video.

[@GRBAquatics]

Very Cool, Thankyou. Stunning Guitar. I have 2 Gretsch Electromatics. A G5215 solid body single cut single pickup Rock Machine and a G5248T Chambered body Double Jet with Bigsby. Both are Amazingly built guitars that sound fantastic and are a pleasure to play. Cheers

[@jimfrancemusic4813]

I'm really wanting one of these! I have a Gretsch G2655T, which I love. I don't have anything with p90s, and I think this is the solution to that. Classic look, classic sound. Just need to save up my pennies!

[@hellodrjeckyl]

These have some really cool colors. There's also a version with a bigsby.

[@aaronlarsen7447]

I have the Chinese T5230 I love the tone of the black faced pickups. The neck is nice aswell. Not crazy about the Bigsby. If I got the model you are reviewing, I would still upgrade the tuners. These are same as mine. The tuners are just okay. I saw some guy bought locking tuners that matched the screw holes perfectly. I love p90's also. I'd like to try a guitar with a p90 and a black face

[@macfawlty]

I’ve always wanted a Gretsch and was considering this one, ultimately deciding last week on the G2655T P90 center block, which is their smaller body acoustic-electric, which as a mostly acoustic player feels very comfortable. I really loved the sound right away.

[@cmet8280]

I have this guitar also, my first P90 guitar I love it, under six pounds is a real plus.

[@GeorgeHeil-gg6wv]

2655 is an awesome sounding guitar.

[@bz1994]

Looks like we have winner 🥇 love ❤️ it

[@JackTheSkunk]

I kinda like the Bigsby equipped model in Amethyst. If I can find a used one cheap enough I'd like to have a mini-humbucker at the neck and a TV Jones T-Armond at the bridge. Should sound great and cover all the sonic ground that I would ever need.

[@thomasd9237]

I have a 5222 & a 2655p-90 Absolutely the best value for the money & incredibly fun to play 👍👍

[@bp7152]

Gretsch has some great alternatives for players looking for something different but also familiar. Unwise to sleep on them.

[@rickyanthony]

Definitely. You're going to wake up sore if you do...

[@terryjohinke8065]

I have one , and seven other guitars, but my Gretsch is my main love at the moment. Killer from day one.

[@Rollwiththetide337]

Just got the same guitar. Sounds so good!

[@filtermat]

I really like this model!

[@TimeisNeutral]

I brought my wife that model Gretsch G5210-P90 the color that you was talking about the cream is called Vintage White that is the color i brought and she loves it.

[@ikillbugs]

I picked one up today in Vintage White. I wanted a hard tail version but they only had one G5210, and it was the T version. I bought it anyway and I've been grinning from ear to ear all evening. These P90's sound GREAT! Clean or dirty, these pickups knock it out of the park. I need to tweak it just a bit, got just a little fret buzz but I haven't put it down long enough to put it on the bench. Just needs a very minor setup and it will be golden. Two thumbs up!! EDIT: I already have the G2215 P90 Streamliner (P-90 in the neck only... humbucker in the bridge) and I don't think these are the same P-90's. I don't have a connoisseur's ear, but I've had the Streamliner for a couple years and I've never been blown away by that P-90 pickup like I am with these. Take it for what it's worth. 🙂

[@ChikenComet]

How's the humming from the p90s in the g2215 vs the g5210

[@deanbradley5499]

Completely agree, incredible pickups. The reason I got one. Months later still favorite guitar.

[@mdgonzalezgondola]

I have not even seen the video and gave a LIKE!!

[@michaelogden5093]

Looks cool.

[@efx245precor3]

P90s sound nice with some dirt on them too

[@BuckFlicks]

Can’t wait for my Amethyst purple one to arrive.

[@ljdobles8104]

Linda guitarra

[@DeuCeNTX]

daggum Cooper!! for 2 mins I lied to myself and I almost went and bought one then I remembered I don't play that good lol GET IT OL SON!! great playing!

[@douglasthompson9070]

Nice.

[@tomstegall1346]

You’ve got a million and 1 liks that sound great

[@RocktCityTim]

My G5230T FL is one of my forever guitars. And Cadillac Green just nails it. The P90s quack a bit like my TV Jones Dynas in my G6120. The Fender team could learn a bit when I think about the Tele that I just returned.

[@dereklong801]

I have a 5230 and it is an absolutely fabulous guitar. I periodically get the itch to buy another guitar, go play a few (much more expensive) guitars, and realize I have a ringer in the Gretsch. They should cost twice as much. And I love these P90 models.

[@Olegstuff21986]

They shouldn't, they should cost this much for the benefit of mankund :).

[@michaelmoriarty1645]

Great review, thanks. What was that you were playing at 6:42 it sounded great as well as the playing. Cheers

[@Guitarwoerke]

That’s the same colour as my wedding suit so I obviously have to get one now 😮

[@jensweiershausen4726]

This video was the decisive factor in purchasing this model. My question would be what amp or software did you use to create this great sound?

[@user-zv7lm8uk7h]

Guitar looks sweet.

[@compucorder64]

If you guys ever get a chance, be really cool to hear the Bigsby one. Because I'm thinking of choosing between one of those, and the Epiphone Les Paul Special with the P90s. Very different sounding guitars I know, but P90 and Bigsby is tempting. It's not that much more for the Bigsby, so seems well worth it. And the P90 in cleaner, rolled off volume single-coil sounding mode could probably do some quite nice almost J Mascis Jazzmaster type tones.

[@patrickkem689]

Me likee! Very much!you guys rock thanks for this video! Need some high gain sounds! How will it sound to heavier rock and classic rock with good over tones Not to mention pedal platform!

[@armandoaguilar7640]

who cares what people think of the name or model of guitar you have, and play. As long as you enjoy it that's all that matters! G2215 P90 is the Gretsch that I have my 👁👁 on! Great guitars and review!

[@michelweedfald1657]

I just bought 1 yesterday in green. Sounds and Plays really good. And the build is perfect.

[@armandoaguilar7640]

@Michel Weedfald Congratulations 👏 I hope you enjoy it! I'm going to get that G2215 P90 soon too!

[@niner_six_echo]

@@michelweedfald1657 Just bought mine tonight.

[@myronsamuels8798]

this sounds so good. something ive noticed about every good sounding guitar is someone who knows how to play it lol

[@alanknott363]

Oh yes! I like this guitar. 👌

[@richardtaylor2361]

nice pickin Coop !!

[@peterb9352]

Hey Cooper and Chris, hello from Florida. I’ve been learning on acoustic for about 2 years and have been thinking of getting an electric. Just saw this video and really loved this guitar. Would you guys recommend this over a fender American pro 2 strat to start off? Smalls hands here also so the neck profile is throwing me off also. Any advice would be great! Thanks again for the awesome content

[@justiceforall6412]

For what it's worth, I own 3 Gretsches. You can't go wrong buying one. I originally didn't bother with Gretsch until I got my first one. They are fine instruments

[@HalcH01]

I love your videos. Thanks for the great reviews. I also enjoyed your G5220 video. This seems to be an amazing guitar. Can you tell us comparison of this guitar with G5220?

[@Knubben71]

The G5220 has blacktop broadtron humbuckers and has a thick paf sound with single coil brightness

[@user-zv7lm8uk7h]

I will buy anything that Guile and Zangief tell me... Seriously though these guys are exceptional players.

[@samchoate1719]

I played the junior with the P90 and the filtertron style pickups. It was like 399 and honestly a super solid guitar. I wanted to buy it but just wasn't sure if I could justify it lol

[@tomfinn8076]

I liked that guitar. I think the Broadtron pickup in the bridge left a lot to be desired, but the p90 was great. The p90 in the electromatics are new pickups though.

[@kalelv]

Forget the guitar!! How do I get to play like Cooper!!! What a great guitar player.

[@Megzamani]

Got this today.

[@_Yep_Yep_]

Gretsch makes cool guitars. Cool AF. Im on the verge on panic buying that Bigsby Rancher before they stop making them:)

[@billyclub9863]

That's an Ugly guitar

[@humplucker2445]

Nashville, Texas.🔥

[@deanallen927]

Gretsch has always used a 12" radius. Looks like a great guitar. What is the bridge made of?

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

The Gretsch Professional Collection is the company’s top-end, flagship line of guitars and basses. Here is where you will find such iconic instruments as the White Falcon, the Country Gentleman and the Duo Jet. The Professional Collection actually subdivides a little further into two more sections: the Player Edition and Vintage Select. Gretsch Pro Collection guitars are all made in Japan. The Custom models are made in USA. Other models are made in Korea, China and Indonesia (most affordable). All guitar reviews must contain details on Year/Make/Model. Yes. It's important to know where the guitars are made.

[@romeou4965]

Pretty sure collectors do their research outside of KZbin reviews

[@donmilland7606]

I need to come to the store. Its been awhile.

[@martianmurray]

Their Cadillac green is awesome, wish they used that on the Bigsby version

[@gregoryhall3156]

And I like the Amethyst (purple metallic) version color wise, but would rather have the fixed bridge than the Bigsby that it comes with.

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

I Want a LEFTY with Bigsby in THAT COLOUR!!!! GREEN is My FAVORITE COLOUR!!!❤

[@savoirfaire8979]

*I had no idea Zak Wylde was in San Antonio.*

[@lawrencesweeney4609]

Still amateurs but happy Wow Cooper! That great! Love to do it😊😅

[@jdrobinson3468]

I want that guitar

[@georgehendrix6555]

I have a Jet and I do love the sound…my one complaint is the strap lock. It’s a pain to travel with as you have to unscrew (without loosing the screw) to take the strap off and pack. I have Schaller strap locks on all my guitars so I can change quickly but with my Gretsch I need to keep an additional strap. Not a big deal but a pain. I’m not even sure you change this out? My only complaint though I love the value for money.

[@randrothify]

Theae single-cut Jets for my money are a better bargain than the Epiphones. For one thing it’s got the parent brand and you don’t have put up with a different headstock that screams ‘you bought the cheaper one’, the QC and sound are great, and the colors are cool. For $600 with P90s I’ll take the Gretsch over a $450 Epiphone LP Special or an $1800 Gibson LP Special that only comes on TV Yellow. Largely the same sound and looks more premium.

[@richdavis9638]

What amp would go good with the Gretsch G5210

[@rolandjgutierrez7737]

One thing I got to say you must be a great store to do business with because you put out great material great review so when the time come I'm hopefully getting this greatch imo they have the best neck and the reason Gibson was ahead on the vintage is greatch used I low quality glue in there manufacturing imo opinion if they had used a hight quality and the right glue they would have blown Gibson away again this is my opinion...RocknRollFlat5

[@eir3apps]

Stay tuned for the Bixby 😂... Nailed it!

[@MelodyMaker]

Put this one amongst your top tier deliveries gents.

[@patrickweber4095]

Hey, I grabbed this very green cutie in friday. I love this guitar, absolutely! But: i am experiencing pretty heavy humming in both bridge and neck position. Its already hearable clean. Makes it almost unplayable in drive channel. Mid position almost no issue! Whats wrong? Anyone same experiences or solutions? I am running this guitar through a blackstar HT20 valve combo. Gain 3/10, volume 3/10, master 4/10. Double checked it with a still existing Katana100. Same issue.

[@Anjohl]

Sharp

[@worldwide1376]

How would you rate this guitar against the Epiphone Les Paul?

[@kalelv]

How do you compare this Gretsch to the Yamaha Revstar RSS502T. No local stores have it and seems they are both great. Would like to know your opinions on how they compare.

[@erodz1985]

We’re these pickups adjusted at all?

[@itomartis]

This model vs the Gretsch G5220.. which one would you choose?

[@shanewest7354]

You should use a looper😊

[@cubistone]

Players would wear the electromatic badge with pride.

[@robertwallace8533]

Compare the Larry Carlton L7v to the Gretsch G5210 P90 Please.

[@ATLovitt]

Electromatics are electromagic! honestly the best value hands down in the market!

[@stoneglad]

The problem is…. Cooper makes every guitar sound sooo good :) Looks cool for $600, only thing I don’t like is the pickguard, I think it would look better with a Les Paul style (more angular / not rounded)

[@thiagonascimento1081]

I tend agree with you! But .. maybe that might also look cool without the pickguard.

[@locky-stocky]

Does anybody know what magnets are in these pickups? Ceramic or alnico?

[@michaelhalstead7532]

Does the headstock have the same angle as a Gibson ?

[@timh8490]

If we are ignoring aesthetics, any reason why I shouldn’t pick this over a 50’s p-90 les paul?

[@MaxRadin]

Are the p90s hum-cancelling in the middle position? Thx

[@wonderingwade1802]

That is a sexy looking guitar

[@thefilmandmusic]

Are the p90’s actually dynasonics ??

[@CosmicCaviar]

Don't know if I want this or the g5220 in Bristol fog more? How do I choose? P90 vs broadtron

[@yakubeshi]

I got both :P

[@daniele385]

6:12 guitar playing

[@carlosclaptrix]

Playing starts at 6:12

[@mikec6733]

Why are the pole pieces positioned like that?

[@edvinlof6132]

Its a pole piece under every string and screws to hold the pick up between the b/g and between the d/a strings!

[@ritwikjs]

the wraparound being intonatable may just be what seals this guitar for me

[@jonniefast]

if yall are under budget they make a junior jet with one p90 i have other fancier guitars / more expensive etc but its great esp for the price the p90 sound is KILLER
