I prefer this to the 2019 Gibson Standard. Pro bucker pick-ups with coil splitting allow massive versatility. Mine is maple capped with AAA wood and trans blue.

No matter how dirty you play, these single coils retain that 'twang'. A super light guitar used for getting down ideas and lugging around when I travel.

My main practice amp as it behave like something much larger and sounds great at low volume which other amps do not. Excellent Orange sound.

Quality small looper always with me to get ideas down.

My standard choice and always have been for the 38 years I have been playing. I used to use .09s but prefer a heavier gauge nowadays.

Do not do it no matter what kind of a crisis you are having. Your life will not improve.

My electric guitar pick of choice even above the legendary Jazz III from Dunlop.

Gretsch master volume that works when both pick ups are selected is missing on this model. Still a great Gretsch sound but lacks versatility of other models. That said who cares as the silver finish, playability and sound are all awesome. Fantastic piece of kit.

Mine is dark red. My favourite guitar at the moment. Classic Gretsch sound and looks. Great build quality.

Quality all the way through and hugely versatile from jazz to blues to (believe it or not) essential chug work 555!

'Twas perfick and in white too! Bought from a local guitar shop when I livedin Tokyo,Japan many moons ago.

Up to you ... love em or hate em I never used it apart from when my Boss Distortion pedal got stolen.

'Twas ok but a lot of useless stuff on this as well as the usable bits.

OK. Rather boring. Average to good build and materials. Average sound.

Used for a good solid rock sound whilst gigging for many years. Eventually stolen at a gig.
