I FINALLY Got a Gretsch

[@kbklt1]

The fact that he opened the box and it said right on it, "Open Other End" is pure Sean!

[@seandaniel23]

I noticed that afterwards haha

[@AWSOMEGUY9]

As a life long pianist who just picked up the guitar- your videos are making the learning process incredibly efficient for me. The way you relate simple patterns to structural theory is concise, useful and entertaining. Thanks

[@DIGITAL7Media]

How’s the learning going?

[@seanhopkins3758]

Those semi hollow guitars have a distinct sound. I had a session musician sit in on the recording sessions for my last album - Chasing Ghosts in the Dark. he used a Gretsch on two tracks and really made the songs come to life. A great guitar at a great price!!! Thanks for the unboxing and the song!!!!

[@PeteB1071]

Yeah, a 2655 streamliner center block, love mine… light, and resonant even when used unplugged ❤

[@rcclitherow6707]

I just bought a Gretsch Streamliner last week. I love the way it plays and sounds.

[@Tanglangfa]

I had trouble finding a bass that fit me perfectly and sounded good. The Gretsch Junior Jet is that bass. Great fit, great balance, great sound, well built controls, stays in tune. Love it.

[@randymcrandy8066]

I’ve had a Gretsch Streamliner G2622 since 2018. It’s been an excellent guitar with 0 issues. Very solid! Only thing I’ve done was change out pickups. Absolutely perfect budget guitar.

[@ricopedrajrs]

The only major thing

[@randymcrandy8066]

@@ricopedrajrs Nothing wrong with the pickups, I just wanted to put in some filtertrons. Still have the guitar and use it live and daily. No issues still.

[@TheWGLOVER]

Nice to have someone demo a guitar with actual music and singing. Great voice.

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for saying so!

[@Dungeon_of_Regret]

Agree!!! This is music. A musician. Using it the way it’s meant to be used. Bonus is the Travis picking , which is “that great Gretsch sound” Chet sound.

[@alans1313]

i bought the larger bodied one with the P90 pickups and its a gem, and after such a great experience with it i bought a solid body one also with the blacktron pickups,,LP shape but definatley not LP sound,,,such terrific guitars ,,,great song to bro,, great channel you have cheers from australia

[@JAL-cc8jd]

I’m up to 2 Gretsch’s, both Electromatics, a G5230T and a G5220. The former has a Bigsby so I had to install locking tuners and a roller bridge to get tuning stability. The latter is a hardtail but I still upgraded the tuners because the stock ones are terrible. Other than that, perfect fit and finish on both and they play wonderfully. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a Gretsch at all, but you might want to do a few upgrades unless you spring for their top of the line MIJ models.

[@ratwynd]

Had a couple of low end Gretsch, 1 solid body, 1 semi-hollow. They were good enough that a few years ago I bought a MIJ G6128T Jet Payers Ed. with DynaSonic pups in Sahara Mist color. Took 6 months to finally get my hands on it because I won't buy what I can't play first. It is a permanent keeper. Upgrade to some real TV Jones and an Electromatic can sound like a Gretsch Pro model. The body construction is good enough to take it. REALLY liked the tune at the end. I just steal songs......cant write for anything. Appreciate those who can write good music.

[@seandaniel23]

Thank you so much for saying so about the song!

[@oldgreen100]

I think the one I just got is wonderful. It has a buzz on the G string and it might need the intonation to be checked over but it plays wonderfully.

[@AlexanderDekhtyar]

Glad to see you getting a Gretsch. Since this guitar is really similar to one of you D'Angelico guitars - can do a side-by-side tone /playability comparison in one of your Q&As? Also, totally did not expect such a warm sound from it.

[@kevincoffee3238]

Nice tune. Nice singing. good lyrics. Sweet guitar. Best utube I seen today. thanks!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks so much!

[@Dungeon_of_Regret]

The best Gretsch guitars are being made right now, at all price points. I own 2 vintage ones which are fabulous, but any time I pick up a new one regardless of price or country of origin I wonder “why isn’t this the gold standard right now”? They’re still so so damned good. The cheap ones feel expensive. The modest ones feel vintage. The expensive ones feel premium. And the vintage ones are reasonably priced compared to Gibson and fender. Indeed iconic, but thankfully not an exclusive club. Incredible value

[@e21steverino]

holy cow Sean! this is the first video I've seen you sing in! :O Fantastic performance! It's really tempting to pick up that Gretsch, especially for under 5 bills! My wife just got me a Les Paul Modern for Christmas so I probably shouldn't even try. Thanks for your humor and great instructional videos :)

[@walterhambrick8705]

Hope you like it. I have a 2005 62 model 6122 and a 5422-12 string. I like them both.

[@seandaniel23]

I’ve heard those are amazing

[@walterhambrick8705]

@@seandaniel23 Yes, my Country "Gentleman" Classic was a lifelong dream (played by the lead guitarist of The Beatles) and my 12 string is almost as easy to play and weighs less and sounds great (to me) through a VOX amp of course !

[@gerrypair3856]

I got one just like yours and plays GREAT. I have small hands but I can play her all day long. I was looking for a Country, Rockabilly Guitar. I found it. Love Your show. Keep up the good work.

[@BostonAndMaineLive]

The solo picking at the end sounds really fine.

[@dukeofearl4117]

I have a Gretch Resonator and it’s great. My band’s lead player has a semi hollow 12 string Gretch from 1967. It’s a beautiful looking and sounding guitar. You should never have shown this guitar. Now I think I need one.

[@spookydirt]

great guitar! i have a 'full-size' Gretsch semi-hollow (they don't do smaller version in lefty) , love it! first thing I did was get proper chrome knobs and switch tip, though, it looks much better for that. And just put humbucker-size p90s on, and that works really well.

[@zenbuilder8801]

Sean, Good morning. Whats your take between the Gretsch 2655 and the D'Angelico DC Mini, at twice the price? jeff

[@mudit7808]

Just discovered your channel from your reaction vids. Amazing singing and music, and also love your vibe! Subbed

[@tomeisenmenger7048]

"Is it even a Gretsch if it's not semi-hollow?" Yes, Sean, it is. In fact, when I hear "Gretsch," I think full hollowbody with a Bigsby. Nothing better!

[@seandaniel23]

The best!

[@richacello339]

Mine is in walnut, and they threw in a whammy bar. The neck is my favorite, not too skinny and not too fat. Comparable to a 339 (vs. 335), a go to for sure.

[@paulwestlake4278]

I just bought one, two weeks ago. It’s great. Loved it from the moment I picked it up.

[@seandaniel23]

Congrats on the new guitar!

[@mortonwilson795]

Gorgeous looking - that colour! Recently bought a solid body Japanese made Gretsch - they have a sound all of their own, no doubt about that. Your song does it justice, or it does your song justice . . . whatever. 😃

[@Mike28625]

Which one did you get?

[@mortonwilson795]

@@Mike28625 You know, I'm honestly not quite sure! It's a 2018 MIJ and from what I can see on the website it's very similar to a G6128T Players Edition w Bigsby but mine is red and has thumbnail fret markers. The guarantee says (handwritten) G613 (or 5) 1T-PE (Players Edition, I presume). Original retail here in HK was USD 2.5 K but I got @ 50% because the new line of Chinese made models had arrived and this was sitting at the back of the shelf looking lonely. HK a good place for deals - high turnover! It's immaculate and groovy.

[@jcburger733]

Great looking and sounding guitar! Loved the song. Fabulous vocals too!!

[@badcomma]

I bought my first Gretsch in July, a 2015 G5620T Electromatic Center Block with Bigsby. It was hanging in a PHX guitar shop for SEVEN years waiting for me. It's so good, and fun to play, but would be better in more skilled hands.

[@Mike28625]

That was beautiful! Thanks! I really like the neck access on these models.

[@Tiimmaaayy]

I just saw a video on another channel that mentions you and the kind of man you are in real life. All I can say is my estimation of you has gone up 1000%. Way to be there for a friend. Count me as one of your biggest fans! And his cause he rocks!

[@seandaniel23]

Thanks for saying so! Dovy is the man.

[@ziggylayneable]

I bought the mahogany colored version of this guitar it's an absolute joy to play it ended up being one of my favorite guitars to gig....

[@seandaniel23]

Nice! Yeah it's amazing!

[@JR-ot4im]

I have this G2655 in Gunmetal, but that Midnight Sapphire is a stunner!

[@deang4438]

Do you feel this guitar would be a good guitar for a beginner/new player ? Thanks!

[@matthew3792]

I have 2627 and a 5622 with TVjones pickups both have bigsbys can't decide which I love more incredible guitars for the price

[@han36solo]

Cool it is but the oversized fret markers spoil it for me. The 1st fret fretboard wood has been almost completely eaten by that block.

[@jimmeymcgee2840]

I got 2 hollow bodies in September and 1 was Gretch the guitar was beautiful now that you opened yours it looks just like yours the pickups got to go the neck feels a little cheap but I do like it it for the money but my other one is a D Angelico an it’s a DC Deluxe an I’m telling you they build great guitars an the pickups are made by Seymour Duncan an the guitar is built to please! I enjoyed your video an you have nice voice hope you enjoy both guitars 👍

[@seandaniel23]

Both incredible guitar manufacturers!

[@zebdoz333]

I have a Gretsch 5435 and once I played it I was sold, in fact, any other guitar iv picked up, I compare it to my Gretsch, none of them measure up for me and I play rock on it for the record

[@musicmnw1982]

I got the G2420T last year. Full sized hollow body. It feels and plays great. Not my favorite pickups but I'll probably change them eventually.

[@seandaniel23]

Would love to try one of those

[@seandaniel23]

I haven't officially recorded it yet but I'll try to soon!

[@danepaulstewart8464]

Malcolm Young thought plenty highly of Gretsch solid body guitars, and he used them to create AC/DC. …good enough for me! But yeah, aside from their Basses, which I have and are very underrated, it’s the semi-hollow thing for sure. ….until you stumble onto a good copy of something they’ve made on and off over the years…the CORVETTE. Really amazing and ACTUALLY unique guitar. Good ones are rare as hell. This Streamliner is wonderful. And for that PRICE?? really sweet MUSICAL sound. One of these is DEFINITELY going on my short list. Thanks for the review! 😎👍👍

[@EdVanMeyer]

Streamliners are good for the price, nicely made and a Gretsch, what more can you ask for?? Another one.

[@donmilland7606]

I wish I got a Gresch a long time ago! Also a Peerless (any model but espcially the Gigmaster or Tonemaster.) - well underrated in playability and construction.

[@eddiemautone209]

I may be mistaken but I believe the bridge is called a Cadillac bridge, Cadillac fender bridge.

Amazing video, as usual! Quick question, as I'm having trouble determining which color this is. Is this the gunmetal or the midnight sapphire color? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Nice thing about Sweet Waters they offer a lot of credit too they're pretty damn generous. You make your first payment of a guitar on time they pretty much know you're a good paying customer especially unless you got like $3,500 lying around for a jumbo Gibson J LOL Have fun with it you'll enjoy it I couldn't quite tell though is that one of the electro madics or is that a full-blown gretsch jet?

[@susanwojcickiisalonelyrath7311]

Find someone better than this dork. He just uses a lot of needless terminology, and is desperate to seem cool. The best guitar is dependent on the player of that guitar; like any artist, it has more to do with the person playing and that person’s particular idiosyncrasies. I love every guitar I have ever played, for different reasons. I am a painter as well, and love specific brushes and my favorites have little to do with anything someone who claims to be an expert might say. Hell, I was a professor of fine arts for years, and I always told my students the same things. Trust your gut. Ignore people like this dweeb.

[@hazelmoore4754]
