Limited Edition Gretsch Guitars! - Gretsch 140th Anniversary

[@trevorhart6255]

I've been watching Andertons videos for nearly a decade now. When I started, Lee's playing was like mine still is. Today, for the first time, I had to stop and check who was playing solo on the opening jam. Timing and tone harnessed in the service of musicality. Wow!

[@bigmac26]

Can we just take a minute and appreciate The Captain’s playing, Bravo Good sir!

[@jtkane317]

It had a touch of listening to Derek Trucks and John Mayer going back and forth.

[@lauriemacquanan2141]

The Captain playing has come along way!! Bravo

[@BG-xn5ni]

Agree 100%

[@uttherkunst3806]

Yep, I no longer hear him thinking of what to play, it just comes out. Well done, sir.

[@08Barclay]

Tasty! 😊👍🏻

[@skaven6663]

Mr Anderton sir , can I just say your tone and feel in that intro was awsome.

[@BulletBeena]

I went shopping for an Epiphone ES-335 today and ended up coming home with one of those anniversary edition G5230T models. They are absolutely stunning looking in person. I'm usually pretty pedestrian in my choice of guitar choices and go for a wood grain burst type finish, but the second I saw it I had to have it. My wife uncharacteristically encouraged me to buy it because she said I had the biggest grin on my face playing it and and she'd never seen me so happy with a guitar. Plays like a dream and sounds wonderful. Buy one before they're gone.

[@antonyedwardson9900]

Had to pause the video when Pete played the Jet through the cloudburst and work out those chords, incredible playing! I loved the old videos with Chappers, he had an amazing ability to sound like himself irrespective of what he was playing but Pete is like a style chameleon, he can play anything and switch in a moments notice. Pete is my guitar hero!

[@stevem-h3562]

My late father started his musical journey with a Brooklyn made 6124 Single Anniversary in 1958, which I still have. Fabulous easy playable neck and bags of character. These do look worthy of carrying the Gretsch name and sound great.

[@tompoynton]

Phwoar that must be worth a pretty penny

[@stevem-h3562]

@@tompoynton Meh. Not exactly. Not as much that you would figure something of that age would be worth and It was pretty badly trashed when I got it, but it was restored really sympathetically. The whole story of it is on one of Mary Spender's Guitar Stories on her KZbin channel. Its a family heirloom. Its insured for enough, but its irreplaceable and theres less than 100 of them left that Gretsch know about worldwide.

[@tompoynton]

@@stevem-h3562 even more valuable then, can’t put a price on something like that!

[@carloscardona3924]

People complaining of tunning instability Ive owned one for months and I don't find issues with tuning stability even if I leave it alone for a week or use Bixby

[@vracan]

same here no issue tuning stability and I use bixby alot

[@_rafael_b]

Wow, the guitars are really nice! That was a cool jam to begin the video too. We all know Pete can throw down and he did so here, but Capt! Those were some really nice phrases you played! These guitars brought out something different from you guys than the usual Les Pauls and Strats. I love the guitars, and I love how you both played them. Cheers!

[@greatkingrat]

What a beautiful color. I have the 5655TG in Aspen Green and I love it but that blue is lovely.

[@Tele999zzz]

I have one of those in black.. the electronics are a little all or nothing compared to the Korean made single cut

[@caydespliff181]

lee, you’re playing, and especially your feel is getting *so good.

[@nastasharomanenko6259]

Gretsch always seems to have the coolest looking guitars. I would love to see some of the Pro Line with those finishes

[@jeffjacobson59]

Best guitars ever made! I like Yamaha and Fender for commercial Basses

[@bruceapa4275]

New subscriber from the US midwest and really enjoying the channel and the playing. This is the first real look I've seen of these great new Gretsch models. Thanks guys.

[@sowmyagali720]

Such beautiful guitars! Cannot get over how clean they look, and not to mention, sound

[@tcarbonimusic]

Fantastic tone! You guys played great today! Greetings from New York!

[@MrSlash00r]

That outro jam .. dang Pete! That's a shedload of feel in there.

[@GRBAquatics]

So Very Cool, Thankyou. Just by coincidence today I got my Gretsch Electromatic G5215 Single Cut Single pickup Rock Machine out to record some KZbin videos. I also have a G5248T. Such amazing guitars and such fun and a pleasure to play. A full hollowbody Electromatic Gretsch is in my future. Cheers

[@johnpark8582]

I think I've watched this video seven times already in the last 2 hours. These are the coolest guitars I've ever seen. I really hope I'm able to save up enough money for the solid body before they sell out 😩❤️

[@nickjames2550]

Did you get one

[@tomfinn8076]

I love these. Gretsch make a fantastic rock guitar. I use a country gent in a post punk band. Lots of fuzz and power chords

[@thedude7450]

Wow! The intro jam and the outro jam were ridiculously good!

[@DustyThePunk]

I own an Electromatic Jet and a Streamliner Centerblock, and I have never heard a bad Gretsch tone. They are still my go to guitars.

[@marks4553]

10:34 Wow the Mic caught that FART! lol

[@peterstroughairart]

Lovely work, Lee

[@michaelirons5662]

OH DEAR GOD THE GRETCH AND THE CLOUDBURST, A MACH MADE IN HEAVEN.

[@later_daze_4080]

Love my Gretsch! These new ones are beautys.

[@gavterrygt]

I mainly associate the singlecut Gretsch models with Chris Cornell around the time of super unknown, so they definitely do heavy

[@daveduncan9005]

The person to invite to speak about Gretsch is Randy Bachman. He is a major collector of Gretsch and frequently offers guitars from his collection for display purposes.

[@JochenReulbach]

Did you guys ever make a "Blindfolded Gretsch Challenge" with Electromatic and non Electromatic Models?

[@To.Si.Ma.]

Electric Mud was great too.

[@glenproctor1999]

Such a beautiful tone. I was waiting for Pete playing the intro to 'Suspicious Minds' on that hollow though!

[@davedavem]

The flipped one is flippin# beautiful. Jeeeez.

[@MusikMagisterMagnus]

Bought me an electromatic G5420T a few years ago, flat wounds on it, killer for a clear jazz tone, and was my main for a while, before I stopped having a main and just alternated between everything all the time.

[@markbrown7103]

I have a GT 427 Granch midnight blue with tombstone threat markers. I love this guitar. It’s beautiful Gretchen makes beautiful guitars. I am very happy with mine.👍🏼👍🏼🎸😎💖

[@crimsonwring2723]

That is just f#cking lovely, glorious tone!

[@MarkRuggieri-rb2iu]

I want to buy the Gretsch G5410T . I've been looking at ads and the color doesn't look the same? as the one that you guys have? It looks like it is off white, which I don't care for. is that one a special color? or is it the lighting on the ads? One more thing Lee, nice and tasteful guitar playing. That left hand is perfect, that baby finger is right where it should be. Very few guitar players can do that. The baby finger is usually flying all over the place. Great control!!!!

[@bbbro34]

I got one. I'm hooked, sounds so good. The G5410T, AKA: the Rat Rod, only comes in three colors: metallic gray, white and a matte black, but it's very similar to the full hollowbody that Lee (think I got his name right, apologies if not) is playing on the opening.

[@13aphomet]

Lee ate his Wheaties this morning!! Wow, fantastic playing sir.. Not often you make Pete look bad!! Hah!! 🤣

[@jeg1972]

Ooooohhhh... I'm a sucker for Gretsch, I've got two and these are marvellous!

[@BackToTheBlues]

Tell you what I love about my Gretsch 5422TG and my Rat Rod (apart from the fact that they're excellent guitars with great sounds, playability and looks) - both of them have a little sticker on the back of the headstock with that symbol that tells you you're not allowed to chuck 'em in the bin! That makes me laugh every time I see it... 😄

[@davidcarlson8571]

Few things. I LOVE everything about Gretsch guitars except the gloss necks. If I were to get one of these, would or should I sand the neck down a touch? Secondly I am so glad Pete got a Cloud Burst on his board so quickly. Lastly, after watching nearly every video for the last few years, watching Captain's playing progress is amazing and inspiring! One of my favorite and go-to channels on the tube.

[@brianbivens6476]

First, I used to think the same way. I have a Gretsch 5420t, a PRS hollowbody Piezo and I will definitely say I think there isn’t as much to it as some would have you believe. Second, if you got one of the electromatics, you absolutely could tape the body off and use some scotch bright pads to put your own satin neck on the guitar. No big deal. I wouldn’t recommend it on a Japanese model (6118 etc.) because you will lose value. I thought I would have to do the same, and now a few years in, it makes no difference to me.

[@rogercantwell3622]

Good to see the traditional Gretsch hump block inlays

[@iNOLOGIST]

I'm so glad my first guitar was a centre block Electromatic Gretch. It's awesome and beautiful..and it has saved me from wanting to buy one of these.

[@markbrown7103]

I don’t normally like white guitars, but that one I really like white and blue that is beautiful. It looks like the one I have but mine is one of the solid color besides the binding of chorus, but I think again these guitars are beautiful especially for the money you can’t go wrong.

[@marcink.9256]

I just pre-ordered the 5230. Not from Anderton, because I'm a yankee, but I do appreciate this channel.

[@dragan4658]

Awesome looking and sounding guitars! I want to see the double cut solid body!

[@Cheefie]

Someone had an extra spoon of vibe in their coffee this morning 🤌

[@devinsinderwitcz9134]

The 6118 is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!! Gretsch are the ONLY guitar I've ever pulled out of a box, tuned and played like a dream right away. Perfectly built!

[@jeffjacobson59]

I’m still partial to the green 6118

[@koffiefilter]

This is really the TopGear of guitar shows ❤

[@durstgt]

Lee is killing it in the intro

[@badscrew4023]

Liked the little Jet's tone the most in this video.

[@guitarswhiskeyandgolf]

The Capt playing a little neo soul nice intro jam!

[@sub-jec-tiv]

That Gretsch Paul sounds gorgeous.

[@joguipo]

Was this recorded at evening time? I'd love to know. For the record: I have watched (and am typing) in my evening time... You know; jim jams, spliff, glass of Ribera... Thought I caught a hint of Evening Hours. I loved it. Great guitars and priceless playing (as usual) from Señor Pete (el Danés). Big love from Spain

[@elephantfootrisers]

Great color, they sound fantastic! Illuminati guitar channel - I love it.

[@douglasennis7291]

The style Pete is playing was similar to the one the Pete Townshend used for Who's Next. Gifted to him by Joe Walsh 👍🏻😎💯

[@HELPTHEMPLEASE]

Lee and Pete. I’m a big fan of you both never miss your videos I’m from. Central ny USA

[@nightpandas7178]

Beautiful guitars!

[@joeydawson7350]

Just pulled the trigger on the last Jet in stock at zzounds, friday is gunna be a great day!

[@tomaszmikinka8681]

Yo, those licks were smooth man… Tasty and relaxing. Nice!

[@mudwiser1391]

I was thinking about buying a Gretsch after all these years, hell I don't know if I'm worthy or not, but dang, I deserve it.

[@captain-chunk]

Those LTD 140 models look great, but there are some hot colours on the current ranges... Ocean Turquoise on a Doublejet, fairlane blue on the Jet two 90, and Petrol on the Jet Two 90 Trem! How much can I get for a kidney?

[@vansongs]

Billy Duffy rocks a Gretsch

[@yourguitarist]

You guys need to start releasing videos of Pete's greatest jams

[@rebuiltbyusn]

Who made the backing track? Nicely done on showing the three anniversary visions. Captain you are coming along with your playing it is quite noticeable. Great job.

[@ReprobateMind]

i have a G5420T and I do love it but I wouldn't call it incredibly versatile. Maybe this one has different pick ups, but mine basically does the Gretsch thing then the Gretsch thing but rolled off, mainly play in middle position with a nice blend of both pickups and it's sweet. I got a half ok metal tone out of it the other week but that's guitar rig 6 doing all the heavy lifting. Great guitar though, feels and plays great but like the Captain I mainly use mine to play acoustic round the house as i don't own a real acoustic. My latest KZbin track a song for Brianna Ghey was this guitar actually and I got a weird enough non-gretschy tone out of it but would you say that's the guitar or just guitar rig? Hard to say.

[@YdoIneedahandle869]

Got lost in the intro man that was beautiful

[@TheMerc1950]

Gotta love a Gretsch!

[@tazward4352]

Great video as always chaps 👌. Think Pete needs to add a couple of gretsch s to his collection 👍

[@terryjohinke8065]

I love my Gretsch with Broad'tron pickups in a jet style Affordable but what a sound . I can make it sound like Geragr Harrison's 60 something Gretsch Duo Jet. Have always loved Gretsch guitars even though I own Fender guitars and amps. BTW most folk say how much they love my Gretsch. Gretsch are still doing it well.

[@michellesummerill8079]

I just got myself the hollow body love it

[@xa.j.x]

Duescenberg and Gretsch guitars are the dopest I believe.

[@123elvislives]

I've just ordered myself one I'm looking forward to getting it I have a 135th anniversary now I have the 140 anniversary hurry up I say before they're all gone once they're gone they gone and then you'll have to go to the second hand market 🇭🇲👍🇭🇲😁

[@Fronz05]

Beautiful guitars! Love Gretsch! I regret selling a vintage Gretsch Chet Atkins Tennessean but my fat fingers just tripped over themselves but it had such a uniquely Gretsch tone. Are there any models with a full 1.75 inch neck width? Your playing, both of you, is phenomenal! Thank You!

[@scoutrifle6827]

Now all we need is the special "Anderton's Pete Honore inspired hands" sale.....

[@kylenewton2487]

That outro jam 😍

[@rogerrtewwr4723]

20:00 great sound there

[@alrangelal]

Are you still doing the rest of the lineup? Greats stuff as always.

[@123elvislives]

Where would these ones be made they look absolutely stunning 🇭🇲👍🇭🇲

[@daggercatz7297]

140th anniversary.. You don't see that a lot wow

[@Vykk_Draygo]

I was looking to get a 5230T or 5420T. Might have to ask my local dealer if he can get these. 🤔

[@markusschuster8748]

They Look and Sound very good...

[@sebabrodensen9646]

Wbite guitar is absolutely beautiful.

[@ralfstock749]

Great guitar’s 🎸 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@Joe-mz6dc]

140 years. 😮

[@nathanchampionmusic]

I always associated Gretsch with David Gilmour and John Frusciante :) Definitely like the White Falcon vibe going on there.

[@davidharding200]

Funny you should say DG because although I realise he’s played a Gretsch it’s quite rare.

[@guitarmuso1]

Gilmore is famous for the black strat if anything

[@jaquesels581]

I saw Gilmour, 2003, Royal Festival Hall, London. He played Gretsch mainly, no black strat, o and acoustic guitar of course. Shine on you crazy diamond on Gretsch. Were amazing.

[@mark8sc]

⁠Thanks for that reference. I just watched on KZbin David Gilmour’s Royal Festival Hall “Meltdown festival” performance of Comfortably Numb with his Gretsch on the solos. I’m blown away.

[@KoaCharvel]

I want one, love the sound of filtertrons, but I HATE painted or glossed necks!

[@akwamarsunzal]

The hollowbody looks mint! :-) Why didn´t they do white top on the center block?????

[@lesshrubb203]

Beautiful guitars for sure, but the star of this video was Pete's outro!

[@michaeljuliano8839]

That symbol on the back is the double platinum symbol which is what the 140th anniversary is.

[@Pulse2AM]

I liked the third one what ever it's called. They seem to have a lot going on in the 2kHz range.

[@michaelkoerner7742]

G5622T-140 is the model; I just picked one up last week and love the aesthetics and tone.

[@MauDeBruijn]

Nice tones gents

[@reijerlincoln]

These would look good on the singer from Black Honey.

[@badscrew4023]

Oh wow this color!

[@JKM395]

My Gretsch hollow body is a 125th anniversary. To be honest, they're not my favorite guitars, but they do a thing that nothing else will do.

[@jeffjacobson59]

I think I would go with the pro jet for these editions

[@StephenSites]

Can we get the backing track to the outro solo at the end? I would love to play over that!

[@justiceforall6412]

My two cents to this thread is simple enough. I have three Gretsches. So why did I just buy the G5230T-140? Because you can't go wrong with a Gretsch. You really can't. And they're so over-the-top beautiful! The Cadillac of guitars.

[@neilgorham6786]

The 5622t has blacktop broadtrons and the 5420 has ft 5e filtertrons

[@rickhill6277]

Do they come Left Handed as well?

[@raffaele.eleonorafrazzi6387]

🔝 fine looking !!!

[@JussiKylliainen]

Boys, what is that pedal which give you some kind of organ or at least massive sustain?

[@teddnagurski5583]

Those a classy AF.

[@opforcesabre]

they sound great
