You cant go wrong with a Gretsch. They are so beautifully musical. Everytime I use mine in our praise and worship at church I get a big smile from the music minister. Front if house says they do nothing with it but just keep it as it is out of the amp. Thanks. Great again as always.

Great demo man! Thanks for showing how it sounds with distortion and modulation. I checked so many demos and was getting sick that people play only finger picking, country and etc until seeing your demo. It seems the filtertron pickups are great with gainy type sounds. That was my only concern. Thanks so much man

Gretsch makes incredible guitars. Besides the sound, the craftsmanship for the price is unmatched by anything else, if you see their instruments as something you can play, for as good as they are under $1000 is a steal. As far as a piece of art goes, it's definitely underpriced for as good looking as they are. Having an amazing guitar that plays great and looks great, $1000 is a perfect deal

First of all glad I discovered your channel. You easily rival the wonderful DaveSimpson (UK) "above the 12th fret stuff"! Just got a 5422T in the "Walnut" color. Had it set up by a pro with 10s. The nut on these is GraphTech "NU BONE", not plastic. The single roller Bigsby keeps the break angle to the bridge in the right gentle angle. . I play mine through a USA Ampeg Reverberocket 50 watt 2 X 12 (re-issue). Clean channel + nice RIC like chime. Drive channel = the nice "howl" you can only get from a slim hollow body. Also standing with a strap the Gretsch is wonderfully balanced and comfortable. Your Tele licks on the bridge pick up are "the tone". Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, and thanks for subscribing! I love this guitar (My first Grestch). How is it with 10's? I still have the factory strings (11's), which are too thick for me normally. I'm about to upload another Grestch video, check my channel in a few minutes. These things rock! Appreciate the comments!
@12ktoaster
@12ktoaster 5 жыл бұрын
Clint, (in response to your kind reply) with 10s I think they are about as low as you want to go without Bigsby problems. They feel just about "right" for bending and chording. Just make sure your nut is clean of any factory debris and lubed properly. The nice tech, Chris, at my St.Louis GC put Ernie Balls on mine but YMMV. Stretch them out well and give the Bigsby several days to get "used to" a new string set. I read on the TUBE to dive the Bigsby for each string, re-tune, check tune "rinse and repeat" until in tune, move on (from tiny E to big E). Your phrasing with the blues is superb.You are truly "singing" with your fingers - shredding is highly over rated. You make Joe Bonamossa look he is "trying too hard" sometimes. Check out the KZfaq "Never Again" by The Coal Men (I just randomly found it) for some great Gretsch filtertron rhythm "chaaaang" (albeit on a Country Gentleman). Thanks again for your talent and time.

Peter W. Crawford As far as I know, the TG has gold hardware. Plus, you know, the aesthetics are nicer, in my opinion. I chose this one because I got a good deal on it, but the differences in sound might be indistinguishable, I couldn’t tell you honestly.

@ClintCurtis
@ClintCurtis 4 жыл бұрын
I looked at both when I was going to buy it. I think both are fantastic. I went with the 5422 because I wanted a hollow body, wheras the 5622 has a slimmer body with a center block (Semi Hollow). I already had another semi hollow guitar so I opted for the 5422. I couldn't be more happier with it, it's just superb.

That's awesome! It came with 11's which I liked, but I changed them out to a set of 10's. I use D"Addario 10-46. I had to add a bit of chapstick to the nut slots though becuase there were some tuning issues. It was more stable with 11's. but it's rock solid now as well with the chapstick. Happy playing!

I am struggling to decide between the 5422 that you have, or the center block 5655T or the full hollow body tri five T5410T. Which would you think is the most diverse in music that can be played? Lately I’ve been playing a lot of Beatles Pink Floyd and rock and blues with some jazz influences but nothing really very heavy kind of bored of that

You have probably decided by now, but I find the main difference between hollow body and centre-block is sustain. I have the G5422TDC for that lovely hollow body control and semi-accoustic sound. It is especially great for anything with a hint of country or rock-n-roll. However, when I need more sustain or am playing jazz where I don’t want a bigsby, I play an Epiphone Sheraton ii pro. Every guitarist should own a Gretsch at least once in their life for the same reason they need to own a convertable - they are so much fun. Get it for yourself, even if it doesn’t suit your band. You can see how much Clint loves his.

When it comes to Gretsch, from my experience the build quality & playability has been excellent. I originally ordered a hollow body (G5420T), but it came in damaged. Sort of glad it did because I really like the one I have. It's still a hollow body, not quite as thick, with double cutaway, and plays and sounds incredible. In my experience, I'd go for the gretsch.
