I've been playing now for about half of my 25 years of life, and this is the best guitar I've ever extensively played, and that is a bundle... It sounds good through everything I've ever played it through, from my vintage Silvertone SS100 head, to my crappy crate, to a JCM900. But it sounded the best on my Ampeg B series. Ah, the past. If this guitar were stolen or lost, I would drive my car into oncoming traffic. My wife tells me that if we were to ever split up on a bad note (my wife and me, that is), that she would toss it out a window. I love my wife, you see, AND my Gretsch. We are just one happy, happy family.
The saddles are utterly adjustable, and the nut is a perfect height. The frets are ultra low-profile. This gives it the WORLD'S BEST ACTION. You could string it up with piano wire and it would play as easy as nylon. The pickups are infinitely adjustable, but I don't mess with them much. The finish is four feet thick. Nevertheless, it looks like I have lent it to the army for target practice. But I am bad on finish. The humbuckers are a bit on the hot side, but not too bad. But one time a studio guy called it "a cheesy guitar" because of this. But he was a delusional fool.
