Gretschsational Guitar!!

This guitar is a 'tone monster'... having great rhythm and lead sounds. Great for rockabilly type stuff, but also can rock out on more modern and/or classic rock music (Greenday, AC/DC, etc.). Plug this into a good tube amp and you've got the perfect combination. It took me a little while to get used to reaching over to adjust the volume knob, and also to learn how to control feedback (due to open f-holes this guitar will sustain/feedback like crazy.... but can be controlled). I was always a fender guy, but this is now my favorite guitar.
