Personally, Gretsch is so underrated. Great guitar for the price point, great colors and various pickup combinations.

[@NeungView]

Stop saying "for the price point".

[@magicman12b]

@@NeungView other guitar manufacturers near the same price point don't offer that broad range of configuration that gretsch does or the similar color schemes.

[@hyrumjensen4712]

I’m glad I waited to get my second Gretsch. I got one of those G2655s with a bigsby and staple P90s and told myself to wait and find the best filtertron and bigsby equipped friend to get… that white jet just beat out the electromatic “almost white falcon” … now to save up for a bit.

[@surfinjim]

Ordered mine yesterday 😊. I'll probably switch to Dynasonics for a "Cliff Gallup sound" (minus the talent...)

We all agree - an absolute stunner!

I am listening to this video again to hear the very good sound you are getting out of these guitars...especially the first jam...great work guys!!!

[@kevindavis1639]

Congratulations. Great guitars, great shop. Used to visit Andertons in the 70's to secretly copy sheet music onto scraps of paper ... re visited a couple of times recently; still a great shop with welcoming non judgemental staff. Well done for keeping the music shop vibe alive. Here's to the next phase.

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

These are of the best sounding guitars you have played...lovely warm sound...especially the p90 gretsch

[@waynebridger4998]

I was looking at one of these, yesterday. So glad there is a video to help me decide. I already own a g5422tg and a g5420t

I bought the Centerblock in white for my Birthday. And yes, It plays and sounds as good as it looks Goes well with my Gretsch Rat Rod. 😉

[@shanewalton8888]

Why buy the crap Gibson puts out when you could have a Gretsch instead?

[@Cosmic_Nomad]

I have a 1970 LP custom, and my electrostatic is so much more fun and comfortable to play. I feel you

[@sercastamere9853]

Because Gretsch guitars are the same quality as Gibson at the same price point, and Epiphone beats Gretsch hands down in their "lower" tiers.

[@bradleyjpaolucci]

Because it looks like a violin…

[@fraval57]

Crap?

[@Kennardy]

I’ve spent hours playing guitars at local and national chain stores and playing friends Fenders and Gibsons, et al and four Gretsches later…I love them. The P90s growl like an angry bear and the Broad’Trons sparkle but roar when angered by some gain. To each their own, but dollar for dollar…I’m a Gretsch guy.

[@chriscolabella880]

Loved Pete channelling his inner John McLoughlin in that opening jam 👌

[@tjnugent62]

Damn Lee, you are getting really tasteful. Your playing has come leaps and bounds.

[@MrWidestripes]

got my first gretsch a few months ago, awesome tones.

[@surfinjim]

Received mine (WG pro jet) a few days ago: absolutely fantastic! Perfect in every way. My first "project" was to put Dynas in it, but that would be a waste. Best ELM Gretsch I have ever owned! And everyone loves the looks!

[@robertcovell2787]

My Gawd they sound awesome!!! I have an old 5236 that is still my go to. Nothing sounds like Gretcsh!

[@parthmehra8630]

was waiting for this review for a long time

[@Alvyishere]

I also have an electromatic Gretsch. Prettiest and best sounding guitar I have. Getting it to stay in tune is rocket science at first though. Keep that in mind when getting these.

[@shanesonksen1515]

I already put in a request to my local guitar shop to hold one for me to check out! I think this might finally be the single cut solid body I've been looking for.

There is just something about a Gretsch. So sweet 🥹

[@staceysmith967]

God they sound good! Best so far this year

[@JustAnumbr]

The Mako color is from the Chevrolet Corvette. In the 60s they had a Mako shark concept and the Stingrays of the 60s and 70s were modeled after those. It’s Corvette Blue.

[@floatinganarchychannel3204]

nate smith! wow such a beautiful guitars

[@AlexRGuitar]

As if picking a model wasn't hard already, now I can't decide which color to pick! They look so perfect!!! haha

[@compucorder64]

Love these Gretsch tones, and been wanting one since watching the Hermanos Gutiérrez & Julian Lage videos. Plus there's the Soundgarden / Chris Cornell connection to them. They are one guitar than can get away with being a bit bling. I don't know if I'm such a fan of white guitars, usually. But ... then I liked Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster so much I kind of got into the white + shiny gold combo. White + gold is a nice combo for a heavy Les Paul too. And the white Baum Wingman & Celestor with the gold pickguard look awesome too. There's three electric guitar shaped holes in my collection, on is Gretsch shaped and white+gold coloured, the other is Firebird shaped. An affordable 12-string, like a Danelectro, if one shoes up second-hand would be nice too... just bought one of these Electromatic Pristince Single Cuts, in White Gold. Couldn't resist, looks beautiful and the sound has such character.

[@QuantumGamingUploads]

1:48 Nice jazz jam

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

Also true for me...never seen a cat fight a pigeon...that blues sound that gretsch are so good at is why a bought a gretsch in 2017 and still love the sound!!

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

The wilder beasts wandering across the african plains as the beat goes on is classic...

[@OnlineLawyerUK]

The impromptu drum loop and Peter playing mid way through had me.

[@TheDrunkenScoundrel]

I probably make some version of this comment on every video I see that has a Gretsch w/P-90s in it: When I was first introduced to that concept my response was, 'why'?' Filtertrons and Gretsch are a perfect combo. Then I heard Gretsches with P-90s. Damn.

[@lewisbeeman]

That back beat at 8:30 or so was the heat

[@sillysausage4549]

Ah, cool af guitars for under a grand. Definitely on the radar. An 8k "masterbuilt" Fender, not so much.

[@danielcarlsson615]

Awesome ❤

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

There is no doubt the filtertrons are different. They have their own thing entirely. My 5230t is a great guitar and has great looks and unique tones

[@heskethlistening24]

Lee loved your solo tone in the opening jam. You mentiioned using pedals. What did you add to the p90 and your fingers to get that great sound?

[@clintchambers7156]

I play one of the Chinese Gretsch Jets at church ……someone ALWAYS comes up to me afterwards and says “Man, that guitar sounds so good”.

[@MrJayscinema]

Love this run from fender 😂

[@jeffhoyer2722]

The Timmy overdrive sounds so good on a gretsch

[@GamerPastHisPrime]

The thing I love about Gretsch is that they just kind of sneak up on you. I don't know how many people start their guitar journey with a Gretsch, but I would guess fewer than most. But you kind of see them around... not sure if you like the look, but you're probably a bit curious... and then before you know it, you pick one up to mess around... maybe an electromatic or something. It's impressive, fun, and best of all different than what you've been playing... before you know it, you're researching Penguins and Falcons with such vigor that Sir David Attenborough has taken notice. You're trying to juggle your finances and justifying the small fortune it takes to acquire these mystical beasts. While there are numerous wonderful guitars out there that aren't Gretsch's... it often feels like a Gretsch just adds something to the playing experience. They are not for everyone... or at least for everyone right now, but I think as you continue your guitar journey, they do become something most of us will appreciate and even cherish as guitar players.

[@jkf9167]

I always thought that Gretsch would never agree with me. Too plinky, too fragile, too gaudy, etc. Boy was I wrong! I got an Electromatic 5422 at the beginning of the pandemic, and after having it set up by a pro, it's easily my #1.

[@GamerPastHisPrime]

@@jkf9167 that’s awesome! I got a 5655 Jr (like the smaller bodies), and same thing. The blue with gold hardware drew me to it, and then I had to take it home. I ended up adding a TV Jones Classic in the bridge and SuperTron in the neck, and it’s definitely a great little guitar. That was a pain in the ass to do though, lol as I did it myself, and I’ll probably never work on a semi hollow again after that.

[@jkf9167]

​@@GamerPastHisPrime Last night, I started to take apart my 2622 P90 Streamliner to change the pickups to mini-humbuckers. Then at the last moment I had a vision of myself never playing the guitar again because I couldn't put it back together, so I put the p-90s back in.

[@GamerPastHisPrime]

@@jkf9167 haha good call. There are some good tutorials out there, and if yours is full sized it shouldn’t be quite as tough… but it was frustrating, and I know people get frustrated with the larger ones too… but a junior… oh man… never again.

[@derick-smith]

Gretsch is one of those brands that always has cred. If you see one on stage, you'll never think less of the guitarist for their instrument choice and often it's the opposite.

[@DJBuglip]

Lol, Lee. Incorrigible. Yeah, those white-face filtertrons do have the sound. Very nice. I might have to add one of those to the list.

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

The swam blues sound pete is getting out of the guitars he is playing is soooo good...

[@dafyddwilliams9673]

Cool ass intro jam 😮

[@JpeterZoom-gt3pn]

I may never get to buy one of these great sounding guitars...will have to enjoy the gretsch I have from 2017...hard to beat the sound you are getting out of these guitars..

[@SpiritOfOrange]

GAS: Just when I thought I was out, Anderton's drag me back in.

[@scottydog62]

Those Gretsch Filtertrons,just something about them, they're so unique, Crystal Clear articulation, yeah they don't sound quite as good with a lot of drive like some humbuckers, but clean and a little "bit" of overdrive they're so unique and magnificent. But that's why we have a whole bunch of different guitars for different applications!

[@jkf9167]

They sound better with a lot of drive than most humbuckers because they have clarity and cut. That's if you're not feeding back uncontrollably on a Gretsch Hollowbody.

[@scottydog62]

@@jkf9167 I'm sure it is all discernible to the individuals ear,also depends on what kind of drive or Distortion you're using I am sure , just my experience on my 6118T, I put Billy Gibbons signature TV Jones pickups in my personally upgraded 5222, they sound great with a lot of gain

[@jkf9167]

@dog62 I recently started playing an Electromatic 5422 as my # 1 after years of Fenders. I like the fact that the midrange on the stock Blacktop Filtertrons is really snarly. I'll admit that that guitar doesn't really do "heavy," which I attribute more to the hollow body than the pickups, because a Jet with the same pickups can sound pretty dense. It does mid gain like AC/DC perfectly, though, and makes good fuzz noises as well.

[@scottydog62]

@@jkf9167 good to hear, Yeah I like Gretsch guitars they're just different than the same old same old like everybody else. Cheers 🙂

I can't figure out what its real color is...help

[@stoneysdead689]

@@EllipseGamer Ah- I hear you- have you thought about filing the nut to open the slots up just a tad? Phil McKnight has a video on it her eon KZbin- the "Know Your Gear" channel. He even gives yu some links where you can buy the tools you need- which are pretty basic. Or- you could just take it to a good tech- pay about 150-200$ and he'll give it the works- fret leveling, nut filed, action and intonation set, etc. I did it with a couple of my guitars and I was shocked at how much better they played and sounded. He set the pickups at their optimal height relative to the strings- really improved the tone of the guitar. I thought I was pretty good at doing my own setups- until I took one in and had it done right- big difference.
