[Tig]

Not many players can pull that off.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

That's a bad-ass guitar.

 

[Coralkong]

I like it.

 

[Chad]

would even with the gold.

 

[Denverdave]

The gold hardware ruins it for me - though it kinda works on that model.

 

[Guitar Heel]

there are few guitar shapes that I hate more than this one.

 

[Kerouac]

Not many players can pull that off.

Not many players are that cool in the first place.

 

[dougk]

Would hit. Hard.

BTW if you've ever played one, you'd find they are incredibly comfortable guitars to play. Honestly, I have one Big Boy (our version) body left... one of these days I'm going to do something with it.

Starry Night...

Starry Night...

That'd be fun! Mike Potvin does a version full time called the Mercury and I don't like stepping on toes of friends.

 

[BEACHBUM]

Love me some Gretsch but not that one.

 

[Tralfaz]

I don't have the beard to pull that one off.

 

[jelloman]

Only if the Right Reverend Billy G has played it...must have mojo...

 

[CBHScott]

Like Gretsch in general, but this model never really did it for me

 

[Chicken Man]

I always thought thumbnails looked dumb. Otherwise very cool.

 

[Deep Eddy]

Too conservative for my tastes.


I dig it, but I am not cool enough to pull off playing that guitar.

 

[Stratguy]

Just not for me.

 

[Elias Graves]

I love it!

 

[Dogsinplastic]

That's about the only Gretsch I'd be interested in owning. That said, the price can suck a bag of falcons and/or penguins!
