So I Bought a Gretsch
After battling illness(s) for 5 weeks now, I decided I would cheer myself up. I am now totally convinced you can buy really excellent guitars for not much money these days.

Its an older UK made 5 Watt, with the real spring reverb.

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Wow, opamp galore. That will take a while to digest...

Re: So I Bought a Gretsch
FX loop and Reverb are SS driven, its a great sounding amp. It does have some surface mount components too, which will make it harder to repair if they fail, but its a solid build.
