Perfect

For me, this guitar is perfect. It has sentimental value for me due to my grandad buying me it - I was torn between this and a few others but it had to be the Gretsch. This guitar provides a mass of in your face power, you can't really get a metal tone out of this (without pedals) so this is a full on Rock And Roll guitar. The biggest pain for me is the Bigsby Trem being fiddly to restring, however the sound and feel of this make it worth it, the best guitar I own.

Great sounding guitar but not perfect!

This Gretsch double jet Sounds great! I love the way it Sounds but it's not perfect. The bigsby b50 gives to much break angle on the bridge so that the strings break a Lot. I solved that Problem by shimming the bigsby higher and getting a roller bridge. Good guitar but needs some work!
