The Asians couldn't spell Gibson...

fixed

[Rog]

Riffles!!

[GrantB]

LOL!!
I thought I might bring the fake Gretsch so we can do a direct A/B compare with yours?

That's a great idea...I don't have any Asian hollow Gretsches but even so vs. an older USA one might be an interesting exercise. These modern day hollow bodies from Asia blow me away quality wise.

Here's a bargain.....http://www.bazaarofchina.com/product_in ... &language=

actually, they did a good job on that one...

[rocklander]

if there'll be a PA there again this time, I'll bring along my electroc drums in case anyone is keen/knows how to drum.

I've had them for a week now and well, I play them like i've had drums for a week .. total n00b, but anyone is welcome to have a crack

Oh cool! I want to get some as having a live drum kit is just not viable with neighbours anymore.
Im waiting for my work sched first though, hopefully I got the right day off....

Sorry man, I should have been clearer...total scam/fake/bogus...was just following the fake theme...no one lost an eye which is cool....

For those who are unaware, long story short, my fake Gretsch was a gift from someone in USA. Its not a great copy, but actually sounds quite good. Certainly good enough for someone of my limited ability to gig with. That said, I'm probably going to open G it and use for slide, as it looks the part for that.

I was pretty surprised how good that guitar sounds and plays. Good score for a freebie
