I’ve never played a Gretsch I didn’t like. Ordered mine sight unseen, and I am NOT disappointed! The Bigsby is fantastic and actually stays in tune for minor vibrato, then again, not really designed for dive bombs. Pickups sound out clearly and have a lively response with the chambered body. The neck is a little thinner than I anticipated, but it plays super fast and is comfortable. Had a couple set up things to do, just lowered the bridge a tad and will most likely have to file out one spot on the nut. Other than those mini-issues, I can’t find anything else to change. Fit and finish are pretty amazing at this price point. If you are on the fence on this and another LP styled guitar, I would definitely go with this guitar.

Beautiful guitar! This plays as good as it looks...I was a bit concerned if I would have problems with intonation with the bigsby, but once the strings are stretched out good, no issues. Neck is on par with some of the more expensive guitars I've had with no fret buzz or choked strings. Nothing on it feels cheap. The FTs sound great. The only issue I've noticed is that I get some static noise if I touch the pick guard while not playing. I read in another review to use clear tape on the pickguard, so I'm going to try that. Otherwise, fantastic guitar!

I've always wanted a Gretsch and this guitar doesn't disappoint! I use it with a Fender GTX100. It can pretty much play complement any style. It's also the first guitar my 13 year old son will play :). This is a very versatile high-quality guitar for the price!
