Temporary NGD Gretsch G5420T

Post by Gabriel »

So the Gretsch I won has shown up. It's quite a nice guitar. Already sold though so it went straight back in the box after this video:

Thanks, the audio quality kind of sucks but originally I just did it to send to the buyer of the guitar.

These are really sweet guitars, so I'd definitely recommend them if you're looking for that gretsch sound.

Although not what my ears hear from typical filtertrons, those "Blacktops" certainly have a tone of their own and nicely round out the package.

Loved the demo as well, short and sweet!

Nice demo. Is this one USA made? I can never keep up with all the different Gretsch models.

It's a cool guitar. It's top of their electromatic line, so it's made in Korea.

Also worth a mention is that this guitar was set up impeccably from the factory, probably the best I've seen a new guitar straight out of the box.

I looked at these. I liked them as well. I ended up with a sheraton II but i would have been happy either way. It broke down to me having a friend who plays a sheraton and thinking he may need it as a backup is what sold me. Plus John Lee Hooker played a sheraton. I thought they both played great. Nice job, as always, Gabriel.
