LOL you know I was thinking exactly the same thing when I was watching the guy play!

You read my mind, man!! A group captain crossed with the chops of Greg Koch LOL

$100 bucks says his name is Nigel. And Nigel is hell of a good guitar player.

@@Cooper1 I’d never take that bet because you’d be right his name is Nigel. It’s probably Nigel Simon Bates.

Dead right there. I was thinking he probably smokes a pipe when relaxing

Yeah- Is he even mentioned at all?

@@jessesmith8452 Maybe he's a man with no name.

His name is Nathan McDonough. It’s in the description.

Kirk Douglas lol

Lmao, accurate

Yep, I am bookmarking so to learn some licks.

@@jamesfetherston1190 I also teach guitar btw ;) Eitherway, thanks for the kind words!

Yes amazing guitar player. 🙌

There was a model released in the 1960s called the Corvette. Rory Gallagher used one for slide for a bit.

I have 2 Gretsch guitars. I always wanted a Gibson Les Paul, but after seeing a one on one comparison video (with headphones) I was amazed that the Gretsch Duo Jet walked all over the Les Paul. So....I got a Duo Jet to match my '63 Tennesseean. The Duo Jet is just an amazing guitar.

It's your life... it's your bank account and dont care what she says...you are getting a new gretch!

I currently own 6 Gretsch guitars, 4 Gretsch bass guitars, 2 Gretsch banjos and a Gretsch Uke. I even have a Gretsch clarinet and a C-Melody saxophone (both from the '30's). Uh...did I mention I'm divorced and live alone???

@@MrProfGary You didn’t have to.

The White Falcon is definitely in the Holy Grail category for guitars!

My first good guitar was a Chet Atkins Country Gent Model 6122. It was my main and only electric for decades, before burglars got it.

Would love to hear about using pick ups On a 2622t.

Have had mine about 2 months Still figuring it out

Who?

Nice. I haven't played in 15yrs, since high-school, and I'll be buying one any day now, soon as I get some time.

Who bought it, dammit?

Not really... your brain will wire itself if you give it time and enjoyment !

Me too.

Yep, calling it a buyer’s guide without discussing the massive quality differences between the Streamliner pickups and the Electromatic and up pickups is missing something important.

Well let me know if you have a semi-hollow you need to let go of in order to make room/help finance new additions. :)

I got the 2627 and thought i was done until i saw a player Jet in that dark cherry metallic. No way i could afford it, but luckily they make an (almost) identical electromatic model that i could. God bless Gretsch!

They are just SOOOOO good! Streamliner, Electromatic? Excellent all around! Fit, finish, frets, intonation, style! And different!

Plus, they’re beautiful!

🤣 multiply like no other. dang isn't that the truth. something about them is fascinating, too, at least to me.

@Chester Guitarman and may i also add that you tend to play different guitars a little differently. You tend play a strat differently than you would a Gretsch, even if it is the same song that you are playing.

thats a great guitar Ive seen guys play zeppelin and van halen on it!!!

The 6120 is my favorite.

Me and you both buddy

I'll second that

Sounds like earths angels, back to future🤣

It reminds me of the intro song on black ops 2 zombies transit and idk why😂

Isn’t it just “Sleepwalk” or similar? It’s good no doubt but the others I heard were far superior.

He does look like Mosley. The resemblance 👁👄👁

Ditto :(

You’re choosing to be married so the choice really is up to you.

*laughs in happily so single

For my 20th anniversary (yesterday) my wife bought me my first duo jet for $2700 at GC. I loved how light it was, how bright and strong it played, and how different it is to my Fender stratocaster. The Gibson gold top (my other choice) weighs a ton compared to it and you have to pay double for a pro series. So Gretsch duo is now my new buddy.

I don't have a wife now to say "no" and depending on where you live, the prices start much lower and can go higher. I paid $428 CDN for mine. They start at less that $300 USD, but can run up to $10,000. There is a Falcon in my local store for $5,000. Work of art. Pretty good deal for a quality instrument. Umm...not just the Falcon. All of them.

Respect for the young David Niven fan playing in this great video. Cool for cats.

@@johncollins5552 Hahahahaha. Funny.

I was thinking the same thing, george harrisons duo jet was hollow and for the tribute model they scanned the guitar to get the exacte chambering.

Keen to hear more! What do you plan to get? If you’ve got it, welcome to the World of Gretsch! And how’s it going?

I do as well, sweet

exactly!

D😢ideo😢x swell of my my syheart was 😟😟 but my den dgot is a good 👍👍 dbut dbut but dy dyjust dydddyddddddddddddyyyxdm

Lol, corrella devil.

😁😄😂😂

That's what you can accomplish when you have a good guitar ;)

Great! How did the shopping go?

might be amazing but boring

Gretsch model numbers generally mean whatever Gretsch wants but there sometimes a kind of logic. If the number starts with a 2, then it’s an “entry level” model, most likely a type of Streamliner (kind of like a Squire or Epiphone). If it’s starts with a 5, then it’s a mid range model such as an Electromatic and if it starts with a 6 (or occasionally a 7) then it’s part of the professional series. Sometimes the numbers that follow give some notion of the type of guitar and it’s position in the order of precedence. For example the 6120 is the Chet Atkins model (sort of the Custom); the 6119 is the Tennessee Rose (sort of the Standard) and the 6118 is the Anniversary (sort of the Special). They are all the same guitar (with occasional variations: some Tennessee Roses and Tennesseans had a longer scale length neck) but with different appointments. Now it would be great if 61xx meant an arch top and the xx it’s specification, but this is Gretsch so it doesn’t work like that. The 6121 is the Chet Atkins solid-body and 6128 is the Duojet. Again both are essentially the same guitar but this time the 6121 has fancier appointments than the 6128, despite its higher number. Then there’s the 6122…which is another archtop but this time a Country Gentleman, which is different from a 6120 (and 19 and 18). It is more akin to the 6136 White Falcon and the 6196 Country Club (17” body, 25.5” scale length), but this time it’s the 6136 that’s most richly appointed. Hope this helps. I’ve found it best to consider that there are only three models: the Chet Atkins 6120 (and variations such as the Tennessee Rose and Anniversary, all are c.16” with a 24.6” scale length), the Country Club (and the Falcon and Country Gent) and the Duojet (chambered solid bodied Les Paul-a like and it’s variations such as the 6121 and the White Penguin). Then there will occasionally be letters and other numbers following the model numbers. Numbers like -55 or -59 denote the original model year the guitar is recreating and letters generally refer to pickups and sometimes to whether or not it has a Bigsby. DS means Dynasonic single coils, TV means TV Jones pickups etc.

Lmao

Fook Linda

Indeed

Spot on.
