MIJ Supplemental #7: Gretsch - The Japanese revival of a USA brand

[@MarkB.Guitar]

I love MIJ Supplemental. I hope there'll be more in the future 👀

The Terada Japan ones are some of the best I have played, I did have an earlier Japan Hot Rod 6120 and that was also superb. Korean 5120 and 5420's are great too.

I just got my first MIJ Gretsch, a Duo Jet with the Gretsch branded Bigsby and TV Jones “Powertrons”. It is sooooo good.

If you like Terada’s Gretsches, take a look on King Snake guitars (Taurus Corp), archtop Gibsons.

Awesome, informative video as always. I definitely have a thing for Gretsch guitars (currently own 3) and I’m fascinated by the history/legacy. Thanks again.

Great content! Came here from the five watt world live, you are really knowledgeable and easy to follow. Could you consider a short video regarding Korean fenders? I’ve seen a few pop up in fb marketplace but always unsure what they really are.

I ran across your channel this morning, always wanted a Gretsch...I was floored by the misspelling issue...how fun! Thanks for such a good channel!

This is an amazing series. I think it'll be a reference point in the future and hopefully some of the myths about MIJ guitars outside Japan will begin to be less widely shared. That headstock thing is just shocking. I knew Gretsches were pretty sloppy in the '50s and '60s but that's a whole other level.

I still have that Baldwin era Gretsch catalog!

[@MMGUITARBAR]

Very nice! It's chock full of oddities.

@@MMGUITARBAR Even back in '76 or '77 when I got it, those Committee models looked utterly wrong.

Such a good guitar love gretsch sem.hollow bodys

I would take a MIJ guitar over an American made any day. The quality and craftsmanship of the MIJ's is way above the rest.

Got the G6120 Steve Wariner, what a marvelous instrument.
