AWESOME HOLLOW BODY!
Gretsch has pioneered all hollow-bodied guitars. This is a great guitar. It sounds AMAZING. It's looks are great, and it's not too flashy. The Bigsby tail piece looks great on it. The Red Hot Chili Peppers used this guitar for some recordings. The tone will blow you away. Also, its not that heavy compared to other hollow-bodies. So this is a great buy, I suggests you get it today!

Retro is Cool!
You have to love the retro feel of this guitar. Great sounding especially with a clean signal. Add just a bit of distortion for a wonderful blues sound. Four stars? Yep, action was set too low from the factory and resulted in lots of fret buzz. Fixed with the adjusto-matic bridge, but should I have to do that when the attached quality control card indicated that it was checked and deemed correct?
Small issue for sure and with the reasonable asking price, you'll get a great sounding, great looking, and easy playing guitar.

Beautiful Instrument
When I pulled this beauty out of the box, it was
love at first sight. It's the prettiest body
I've had next to mine in a while. I tuned it
and it was ready to go. And it definitely has
that "Great Gretsch Sound". Buy it. Buy it now!

Yes
bought this yesterday at Georges Music Center in Torrington CT, love it so far. When I saw it on the rack, I had a feeling I was going home with it that day, Even though I planned on trying out some Fenders. Clean, it's awesome, but when you add some gain, that's where she shines, the power and energy behing these humbuckers is just something else, I'm used to Telecaster single coil, so it sounded so fresh to me. it looks great, so vintage, pictures don't do it any justice trust me. The bigsby is my favorite part, just a little back and forth on it, and it'll give you chills, this guitar is meant for sublty, but can perform well when you go all out.

Great sound, great playability, great looks, great value
I've owned this guitar for about 6 months, and I really, really like it. It has one of the most comfortable necks that I've ever played, and very smooth action. I play straight-up, no effects, through a tube amp (Fender Blues Junior NOS), and I find that this guitar has a very versatile range, good for a variety of classic sounds. Start unplugged, and the hollow-body is loud enough for practicing late at night without disturbing your household. Turn the amp up a little and you get a nice, warm tone for soloing. Turn up a little more and you get some nice bass and mid-range for rhythm. A little higher still and you get a nice Dave Davies "crunch." If you're into shredding, goth or heavy metal, this guitar is probably not for you, but if you're into any kind of roots music, the Gretsch is one of the finest new guitars that you'll find in its price range.
