Word up Tom!! Thanks so much for checking out the vid, and adding to the conversation! I was always such a big fan of The Stray Cats, and I also thought it was such a cool guitar! I hope that you get yours soon!! Rock On Brother!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up sh4rkbyt3! I agree, such a wonderful tool to have in the arsenal! I may have mentioned this in the vid, ( I forget, haha!) I used music nomad tune-it on the nut to help with the tuning stability on mine, and it greatly helped. Thanks for adding an awesome comment to the conversation!! I'm gonna get mine out now and jam on it a bit, thanks for inspiring me!!! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

@@tinkerbell4896 You go bro!!! Practicing here as we speak with my 5420t ;)

Word up My Good Brother! Yes, I am now a big time fan of Gretsch too, especially if this is what they're calling their mid tier axe...It's such a joy to play!! I will be for certain keeping my eye out for bargains on their guitars. I was able to get a wee tiny deal on this one, but I just had to have a Bigsby on a Gretsch and couldn't wait any longer... and so glad I have this one! Straight up, thanks so much for checkin' out the vid and sharing some positivity, I'm sending good rockin' vibes back your way!! Crank amps, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word Up OtherLeft!! Thanks so much for checkin' out the vid, I really appreciate that! She really is a good looker, I'd have it on the wall for art if it wasn't getting played constantly, haha!! I'll be getting behind the strings here soon, so I'll be sending ya some rockin' vibes your way!! I'll see you soon in a chat soon I'm sure! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up Bro!! Thanks so much for the kindness and checkin' out the vid! That guitar is really fun to rock and hard to put down, that's for sure!! And the shirt totally adds like 10% more tone easily, it probably wasn't fair of me to review like that, haha!! Sending good vibes your way, be seeing you soon in the chats, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up Mojo 67! Straight up, thanks for checking out the vid and for your kindness, I truly appreciate it!! That Gretsch is an absolute blast to play, and quite a looker too! Sending awesome positive vibes your way... so crank that amp up and Rock On!!!

Word up ATE EVE!! Thanks for your kind words, and for checking out the vid! Sending awesome vibes your way, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

Word up SonistheFatherofMan !! That sure is a fun guitar to play, and it sounds great! Thank you so much for your kind words and checking out the vid! Sending Awesome vibes your way, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

@@tinkerbell4896 Thank you!

Worrrrd up Bro!! Yo I texted Alan to get you my number, I can't believe I didn't get that to you!! Would be very cool to stay in touch with ya. Here is my email: qball242@yahoo.com Just in case Alan can't get it to you, or whatever! Always got a place here for ya if ever coming thru town. Rock on, hopefully talking to you soon!!! 🧚🏻‍♂

Word up my Good Brother! Truely, thank you so much for your kindness, and checking out the vid! That Gretsch is so fun to play, and just sounds great plugged in or acoustically. I had made another vid with it playing an AC DC song, (What do you do for Money Honey), but it was blocked for copyright! I never had that happen before! I'll have to find another song to feature it, I wanted to show the Malcolm side of it but I guess not!! Sending good vibes your way, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Worrrrd up! Boy howdy, it really can handle anything, right?! Those Filtertron pickups sound great on just about everything I've thrown at them, and even acoustically it projects the sound out so nicely. The Bigsby B-50 on mine is sweet, but honestly I wouldn't mind another Gretsch as a hardtail. Thanks so much for checkin' out the vid , and writing a cool comment, I really appreciate it!! I'll be jammin' some good vibes your way!! Rock On!!! 🧚🤘🏻

Worrrd up Layila! Thank you so much for your kind words, it truly means a lot!! Ya know, the day after, I made another vid of playing the AC/DC song 'What do you do for Money Honey', and for the first time, for me, I had a vid blocked! Usually they just demonetize the vid and that's it, but this time, no go! Aww well... haha!! Sending Awesome Vibes your way, and of course, Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Worrrrrrrrrd Up Brother of Another Mother! Thanks for the kindness and checkin' out the vid! As you have had some time behind that fretboard, you know what I'm talkin' about!! Haha!! As soon as I approach my minimums on coffee intake, I'll be behind the strings, and sending good rockin' vibes back your way! Rock On Bro!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Aww yeah Word Up smytree!! Thank you so much for checking out the vid, and it really is a stunning axe in person! But I get ya, it isn't really a Metal guitar, ... even tho I did hammer out some Postmortem at the end of that vid, haha!!! (Well, it has to be black, amirite?!?!?) It is a crazy tone monster, and I'm able to get all sorts of sound out of it, and playing acoustically when just noodling around is a real joy. But, as it goes, I'm looking for more metal axes as we speak, and I'm trying to talk myself out of a road trip to the closest Guitar Center (90 miles away) to check on a C-1. Haha, oh this addiction!! Sending awesome vibes your way! Crank that amp up Good Brother, see you soon in a chat, and Rock the f#k On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up! Thanks so much for the positive vibes! Sending some awesome energy your way!! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up Gers3904! I do not have any experience with the G522, but I'll say this. The 5000 series Gretch guitars are really amazing guitars at their price, and we're talking about a $500-$600 guitar. I love that Jet guitar and play it a lot, even though I have a good many other more expensive ones. I totally understand that a couple hundred bucks can be and mean a lot more to one person compared to another, but I would totally get another 5000 series Gretch again. I've actually been looking at the Duo Jet model. So, even though I haven't played that other model, I bet you'd be really happy with a 5000. Totally just an opinion. I hope that helps! Good luck with your decision, and Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏼

@@tinkerbell4896 Thanks for your reply 🎸

Word up David!! Thanks so much for checking out the review, and for leaving a wonderful comment! My opinion on replacing or upgrading anything on a guitar is that I wouldn't do anything unless it's something that needs addressed.The pickups on this guitar sound great to me, so I'm good with them for sure. Any of the pots could come down to player preference, but they're good enough for my level of playing. If i was forced to change anything out of this axe, it might be the tuners, I believe they could be a little better. I hope that helps! Rock On Brother!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up! Yeah, that's a fantastic idea, I'm gonna look into that, and maybe some new tuners too. After feathering the nut just a kiss with a fine file, and added string lube, my tuning greatly improved. But i think it can be better, and that bar you mention is another good spot to improve. Rock On Sal!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word up! I 100% agree with that statement!! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

That's what sold me on them years ago. So much tone with so little effort and without pedals too!

Word up! I went and plugged in to make sure I gave a good answer. All the pots, volume and tone, seem to modulate quite nicely on mine. I remember opening up the back, and they were not the cheap-o dime sized ones either. They all did a nice sweep, and were at full right near the end of the turn, and were quiet right near the end the other way. The master volume worked great also just the same, and all were equal on all pickups. So, not sure what happened to the other guy's axe, all good here! And thanks again, you absolutely are awesome!! Rock On!!

Word up Backwoods! It is a fun axe! Rock On!! 🧚🏻‍♂

Word Up Wolfpack! Yeah, that was a riff from Rock and Roll Train by AC/DC! Good ear!! And thanks for checkin' out the vid! Rock On!! 🧚🤘🏻

Word up Alex!! I hope it works better for you on the next time you're tuning, I'm guessing you are talking about trying to get the Gretsch a little more stable in holding tune. It still seems to wander on me, more than other guitars I have, so I'll need to rweek mine some more too, when I've some time to throw it on the bench. It's definitely way better than it was after I did open up the nut a wee bit, as well as give it a little lubrication. Good luck, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻‍♂🤘🏻

Word Up! I had some issues with mine, as you might have already seen in the comments on this vid. I was able to get mine to behave a whole lot better with some easy work. The one I had was binding in the nut a little bit, so I took some very fine files, and just opened up the string slots a wee bit. Also, I added some string lubricant to the strings at the nut and bridge areas... pencil graphite would also work well for this. Give this a whirl, and see if the tuning stability comes around for you. There are tons of vids showing how to do this exact fix, and you won't need to buy any tools if you've some basic things around. I hope this helps!!, And I appreciate you checkin' out the vid, and leaving a comment! Sending you some good vibes, and Rock On!! 🧚🤘🏻

Roller Bridge and nut...I have new issues.
