T.S.O.L'.s Ron Emory: 'Gretsch Guitars Are Rock And Roll Guitars All the Way' | Gretsch Guitars

TSOL guitarist Ron Emory loves Gretsch: "Of course Gretsch is a very popular guitar with rockabilly - you’ve got all the greats from the past like Cochran who played them originally- and they do get a fantastic sound for rockabilly... But, they are rock and roll guitars all the way. I mean, they are absolutely rock and roll guitars.” The punk rock guitarist recaps some of his favorite Gretsch axes over the year and explains what he loves about their unique sound.

More About This Video:
“The pickups have such a unique high end where it just punches through but you still have that low-end grind on them," says EMORY. I know some of the older hollow bodies were a bit hard to control but if you set your amp up properly you could get some really unique sounds through them.”
And with some of the newer Gretsch models in particular, Emory notes how "with the master volume you can control the amount of gain and output and you can really get some really nice overtones. I use multiple amps and kind of split them up stereo so you can get these really cool harmonic feedbacks that you can’t get with any other guitar. I couldn’t get it with a Gibson, I couldn’t get it with anything else.”
