The... 'GRETSCH' ROUNDUP!!!

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

I think starting a Gretsch thread is a great idea thanks KNNZ!

This is a safe place to show off your fat bellied rockabilly axe, dizzy dynasonic drenched duos, country emblazened salloon doors with strings, stinky brown relics with tar stained denture binding, fizzing frothing filters of wonderment, wayward penguins, and feisty falcons....and everything else that Fred Gretsch would be proud of (and some things he may not be).

So line up some slap back delay, bypass that master volume and set those filters to kill!!!

Ill get the ball rolling with my 1990 Tennessee Rose G6119. Low fast action, guitar is in great shape, but perfectly 'aged and broken in...seems to weigh a ton. Great bigsby (new spring courtesy of the modfather Bender)
I love the depth of the red on this. The second pic shows it off well. Enjoy!

Here's a real roundup from the Arlington show. This one is pretty special in that it was ordered brown, not orange. I dig it.
