Brand Name: Gretsch

Model: Gretsch Electromatic Double Jet

Price: 489.00 new

Review - Please try to include as many specific details as you can: the fit and finish was about as perfect as you can get.  Mine is the silver sparkle.  I got mine at Sam Ash and it was set up perfectly, no buzz or pickup problems.  I really can't say enough about the mini humbuckers that come on it.  It doesn't matter where it was made the sound is definitely all gretsch!  The neck pickup is all country twang ,the bridge pickup has a deeper mellow tone.  It also includes the bigsby roller bridge with a whammy bar.It only has master volume, master tone, and pickup selector switch.  Almost all reviews I have read say the pickup selector switch is crap, mine seems okay maybe they changed it.  The pots seem better than on most guitars of this price range, meaning they actually work well!

Rating (On a Scale of 1-10): 10

Additional Comments/Final Verdict: I've only been playing for couple of years now but I think this guitar is going to fit me a very long time.  If it were lost stolen or destroyed I would replace it as soon as possible.
