get a load of this :eek:

Dunno why they even bothered putting frets up there

feylya · 02-10-2006 11:29am

That's a bit stupid really...

Doctor J · 02-10-2006 11:33am

It's very definitely a rhythm guitar

feylya · 02-10-2006 11:37am

Ya think the Japanese would have invented something better...

jcoote · 02-10-2006 11:43am

so its not that suprising

Doctor J · 02-10-2006 11:52am

In fairness, it's just a faithful replica of an original bad design... and that butter stick is a piece of salty genius

feylya · 02-10-2006 11:59am

Butter stick ftw! Not as good as the headache stick though.

jcoote · 02-10-2006 12:06pm

yeah your right doc u can't make a replica that is more playable than the original its just not nature.

smashing finish tho

Nice

What's that big drumhead thingie on the back of the guitar for?

Doctor J · 02-10-2006 12:34pm

I think it's so your cowboy belt buckle doesn't wreck the back, in a way different to how the clips which hold it on don't.

fish-head · 02-10-2006 12:49pm

You bastards leave Gretsch alone!

Heel block? No problem. The jazz/blues/country shredder greats who actually play guitars like that are so good that lack of thumb space is not an issue.

handy place for a spare!

Cool! and it looks like it unsnaps so you could use it for a cushion if you felt like a bit of a sit down ?

Quattroste · 02-10-2006 3:23pm

Are they actual F holes or just stickers. Look at the way the light reflects off the hole!

Doctor J · 02-10-2006 3:29pm

There's a pair of Fs but no holes. Bagsy not rewire that one

You can unbutton it and put your lunch in there. You know, for carrying stuff around. Very handy yoke.

It wasn't me! · 02-10-2006 5:16pm

Big mean heel, but sweet looking guitar to be honest.

Johnny Storm · 02-10-2006 6:15pm

It's some guitar all right. How about the "flip-up muffler system" - whatever that is ????

punchdrunk · 02-10-2006 6:30pm

that presses a foam pad lightly against the strings for a muted tone,
oh and no self respecting gretsch player is gonna be using less than 12's or 13's on that bad boy,try bending those strings up around the heel!
