I'm usually a telecaster guy but this Grestch caught my eye and I am extremely satisfied with it. I play worship music and the pickups are excellent. I will be upgrading the tuners and parts of the bigsby. But overall an excellent buy.
Nice guitar

... my Dear Bride already scored one for my birthday, and I've been playing it for 3 months already. :) If you don't have one yet, hustle down to the store and give it a try. I think you'll be as happy as I am. Set up well, plays beautifully, stays in tune, even with Bigsby use. Only downside is my other guitars aren't getting much love these days.
This guitar is AMAZING!!

Before you buy another Les Paul, (everyone needs one LP) you owe it to yourself to play an Electromatic Jet. Very well built and plays like a dream. The best part is that sound you can only get from a Gretsch. Whether it the Blacktop Filter Trons in the G5237TG or the FE-5's in the Pristine LTD, nothing sounds quit like a Gretsch.
