I bought the Vintage White and I wish I bought a Gretch 30 years ago. But now I know, and am in Love with my Rat Rod. The Pickups are incredible. Reminds of a Tele in the fact what Can't you do with a Tele. Same applies here. What Can't you do with a Gretsch.

Very difficult to understand some the comments posted about this review !. I’ve been a professional Jazz Musician, for 60+ years. I’ve played and owned A Gibson 175, Tal Farlow, SG Special, Les Paul, Maccaferri, Gretsch 6120, Ibanez 2355, Cromwell, ( 1937), Fender Stratocaster, Fender Telecaster, etc . Some of which I still have. I think this is a really good demonstration, by an excellent player, who gets terrific sounds from a good very well priced Instrument !. Sometimes, I think some players have no “ Ears”, and don’t really know about “ sound possibilities “ !. I give up !.

I appreciate your playing. It shows what other sounds ocean be done with it. A White Falcon has been used in the Cult since the beginning. A guitar can be used for what you want. I saw Fugazi one time (a punk band) the played with a Rickenbacker and a Epiphone SG

Every tool has its purpose 🙏 if you often play with overdrive, if you often play loud, I recommend a slab, solid-body, guitar. If you often play small venues with a small amplifier and/or depend on the house’s system mic-ing your amp, maybe a different story then. This Korean-made model comes with less-bracing (parallel tone-bars and a single sound-post), so if you’re like me and often practice un-plugged, like: “imma just pick this up for a moment to figure out a riff I have in mind,” you’ll enjoy its “almost could be an acoustic guitar” qualities. When you’re 100% certain that a large, mostly empty, f-hole guitar is your “go-to, #1 baby-of-choice,” then you’ll develop a bunch of stop-gap tricks to reduce unwanted feedback, such as putting a tea-towel in the body, cutting up ‘flip flops’ to precisely fit the f-holes, making best-friends with your volume knobs, etc. (there are ton of little tricks like that)

Howdy. I had a Rat Rod for a couple weeks and the sound felt really warm.l, especially when jamming with a drummer. I wondered if it was the pickups or what. How would the sound compare between this and a Gretsch Eddie Cochran model or Gretsch Hot Rod or Gretsch Reverend Horton Heat model? Thanks.
@BardNomad4 жыл бұрын
Hey there! Gretsch has a section on their website where they explain all their pickups and how they sound relative to standard pickups like strat coils etc. The type of pickup in these guitars is warmer compared to others. The kicker is a lot of there *blank*-itron pickups look identical. Check the pickup type on the model you like and then look at their pickups page :)

It's a lovely guitar, but the tuning stability on mine is absolutely awful, I can either bend strings OR use the Bigsby. I kind of regret buying it as it's zero fun to play.
@jimmythefish3 жыл бұрын
I have a newish g5622t. I did a few things to make it better: 1. Bought high quality tuners for it. Not sure if this needs them but the cast ones on mine were horrible. 2. Put 11s on it. Heavier strings help. 3. Lube the nut with some graphite from a pencil. 4. Put some wax or chapstick or something on the bridge string slots. 5. Super soft spring (I got mine from Bricks Biggsfix) 6. Let it settle and play in a bit. It’ll get better.
@andygrove2853 жыл бұрын
@@jimmythefish Thanks for all that advice, much appreciated. I have 11s on it already, tried pencil lead in the nut slots, and fitted a solid rocker bridge right from the get-go for best tone. It seems like I have now fixed it though! What I did was slightly radius the nut slots where the strings enter, so they don't enter at such a hard angle. Why they don't do that at the factory is an interesting question!
