This is the best video I found to show the true tone of a Gretsch. Love the tone because it cuts Through the rest of the band sounds like a knife Through butter. What incredible instruments.

Your playing makes me want to sit back in my recliner with a glass of Malbec and chill. Amazing. The guitars are nice too.

Man, this is one of the nicest demos I've heard, to date. Great chord progressions and wonderful tones.

I don’t think I could tell the guitars apart without the visuals but entertaining and informative video 🙏👍

always enjoy Guitarist demos, and this one is no exception. they always sound so good, and are so well recorded. kudos!

I love the 3 way tone switch on Gretsch guitars! Incredibly useful...my next Gretsch will have one on it.

So classy! I love the way the single coils sit atop the mix, but the humbuckers sound great too - clear and articulate and not a trace of mud!

Wonderful demo! Not only is the sound quality excellent and the playing spot on for Gretsch guitars but the video quality really affords the viewer a chance to see these beautiful guitars up close.

Such a great demo! Fell in love with the red one!

this is a GREAT demo! very well made and the song/chords bring out that Gretsch sound so well! I only wished you could demo the Gretsch Power jet too..

He makes them sound better than the official Gretsch presentation. Love the tone in this one.

What a gorgeous melody that is, played so well on such beautiful guitars....5 stars from me, sir.

Great playing that makes them all sound great. love the WF but the orange Chet is my fav sounding.

Gorgeous! ALL sounded wonderful, big and twangy, BUT that White Falcon, OMG, it just killed the others. Those TV Jones Filtertrons, blew the real Gretsch Filtertrons away! Thicker, bolder with ALL the treble twang you would expect from a filtertron style pick up! Amazing playing too, sadly 19 Philistines watched this vid!

A truly fantastic comparison shootout - that’s the way to do it, IMHO. Great job! Loved every second of it.

Ι hope some day I 'll get to play with a white falcon...I love this guitar!

One of the best demos ever made! Awesome job!

I've bought this very G6120 today..... love it.

Just got the 1000th upvote in! And well deserved.That's how to review guitars - awesome playing, great production, and tone was simply gorgeous. I got my good headphones out for this one and was mesmerised. I came looking for the White Falcon, but that Chet Atkins one really got my attention!

I like how he identifies all the techspecs of each guitar clear and consicely

Awesome demo, they all sound great but oh man that cherry Tennessee Rose....

That orange one is a very gorgeous guitar

Fabulous playing sir.

Love your playing Richard!

One day white falcon... just wait wherever you are... ill find you

This video is single handedly responsible for me owning a players series G6118T

To me, the WF “speaks” the sweetest…something about it really speaks to me and I might need to get one…

best demo I've seen so far. great way to show these guitars!

This is just how I want to play. That mix of chords and melody has always appealed to me and it's a perfect way to show off these guitars. Very nice indeed.

Nice demo with great playing. Really exemplifies the various sonic qualities of each guitar. Looks and sounds great as well. Kudos.

This channel deserves so many more subscribers

I could listen to you play these beautiful gretsch guitars all night! Fantastic work. Stay safe and well.

show off! ha! I wish that the talent and years of practice were all built into the guitar.... I would order a dozen of each tomorrow. I could easily hear the differences in tone between each guitar at several places but at the end of the day, I don't know that the beauty of any one of them would make me happier to play than another. awesome demo, sir.

One of the best demos I've ever seen! All sound incredible. Fantastic playing. If I had to choose I think the White Falcon is absolutely stunning. Great job Richard and Guitarist team. Gonna have to find me a Gretsch!

Great choice of music for highlighting these fine instruments.

Thank you for actually using the Bigsby in these demos, and not simply using it for one dive before the camera cuts at the end.

Thank you very much. Lovely! I have a G7593T-BD-BK Billy Duffy Black Falcon arriving by UPS next Monday :)

what tremendous and melodic phrasing you have. a must learn. I have the Electromatic, cheaper, but sounds great. I play out with it a lot. Thanks for the post.

increible el sonido de esas guitarras, quisiera tener al menos 1, y el guitarrista muy bueno, vieja escuela, limpio y con armonia

Those first two would be great. Improved string attachment on the Bigsby, treble bleed and no silly mud switch. All great ideas.

Absolutely loved this demo, and it pretty much convinced me to pull the trigger on acquiring a new Players Edition Country Gentleman, which is similar in components to the Anniversary model in the demo. As others here have expressed, would like to know the amp used for this. Swart and Vox have been suggested. It had the perfect near-breakup tone for those Gretsches, IMHO. Thank you for posting this.

Lovely demo, Rich!

I'm sixty three now, and a semi is all I can manage these days. Ooh, missus, no (etc, etc).

FANTASTIC PLAYING SIR...CARRY ON ✌

So Beautiful... i Can't take my eyes of them

Great demo video well and clearly explained for each guitar model and no heavy rock grunge and all guitars played exactly the way they were built for thank you 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 this must be one of if not best demos I have seen for a gretsch guitars and well played superb 👏👏👏👍🥃

that was some sweet playing, dude. i love the sound of these guitars... if only i had the cash to buy one.

I will take all four thank you very much!

Great guitars AND great guitar player!

Great playing

I don't think there are sexier guitars anywhere on the planet

I love these beautiful, simple and very Spanish sounding chords. Can anybody tell me what chords he's playing at 3:52-4:48 and again at 7:40-8:03? I'll figure out how he's playing them on my own but I'd love to get a start at least knowing what they are. Such soothing and melodic tones.

Anyone else hear Chris Isaak's voice over these tracks?

Killer chords and atmosphere for these guitars!

Awesome demo!

Very nice playing…I might take the time to learn some of what you’re doing…sounds and feels so good!

They all sound alike, even though I own vintage Gretsches, and know they're not. Played through my home theatre system.

Great demo of great guitars. Didn't overplay and let the notes speak for themselves. A template for how guitar reviews should be done.

My bucket list guitar is the Gretsch 6120 with TV jones humbuckers

The orange one was the best...

Reverb is the Word, great video.

I love your voice and playing

The Japanese Gretsch guitars are not "mid-range", they are the top of the line unless you have $10k for a custom shop model.

Well Guitarist, thanks for giving me massive GAS. Thanks a lot.

Exceptional demo!!!!!!!!!! Very moving music!!!!!

All were Great, but #4, is 1st. #1 is 2nd, I like the Bite, in these two. 😊❤️✌️

Love the Gretsch sound , love Eddie Cochran so it's the orange 6120 for me but I liked all these guitars. Nice playing.

Play them in a band setting and they all pretty much sound the same...so you may as well just get the one you like the look of :)

i have a jet pro chambered 3435 i love it myself i just do not have a use for a whammy bar as on these guitars not that they are a bad thing i just do not use them, but these guitars are wonderful sounding to me

I like the playing, the guitars, the run-through of the pickups on each guitar, and the playing with the track. It’s all good, as far as it goes, BUT...this otherwise excellent demo has the same deficiency that afflicts so many other guitar videos - namely, the apparent presumption that everything must always have some distortion. Has it actually come to the point where clean sound is so unpopular and out of fashion that almost no one thinks its worth including it in guitar demo videos? I understand that driving an amp into harmonic distortion can fatten the sound, increase sustain, and be exactly the right sound for the right music. I use it myself, although I usually go for a smoother OD sound than this video used, with less break-up and dirt. But admittedly that’s a matter of preference. But I don’t use OD/distortion for everything. Shouldn’t a comprehensive guitar demo - especially for guitars like these Gretsch beauties, which traditionally were known for their clean sound - also include a run-through without distortion? I think so. To be clear, I’m not criticizing anything the video included. I’m talking about what was missing. A supplementary video demonstrating the guitars’ clean, undistorted sounds would be awesome, and most greatly appreciated.

and THAT is how you play a Gretsch! Bravo!!

That 55 is sweet !

Great demo, guys.

Really wish they'd kept the T-rose scale at 25.5 and hadn't swapped the fretboard from ebony to rosewood... Would be my ultimate guitar otherwise!! :(

I love my Gretsch, but I am totally missing the point of calling something a player’s Edition and giving it a bridge that cannot be properly intonated. These should be called Hanger’s Editions. Whether Gretsch or TV Jones, there are no pickups that compare to FilterTrons when played clean.

Great post---fantastic playing and great sounding guitars----always been a White Falcon lover, but thot it came in 2nd to the Ivory topped Anniversary ----thot the other 2 were about equal......?? much thanks

10:12 awesome melody

Oh that cherry burst I'm in love

I keep coming back to this demo to hear this music. What is that tune? Is is tabbed anywhere?

Amazing guitars!

all fantastic and no discernable difference...shows the quality...next time drop the effects and do a simple dry comparison

And may I add that the pick ups TV armornd have a much more sharper cleaner sound I have these on my gretsch and actually prefer these the tone control switch was also used on the gretch tenisean I have a 1961 original with painted on f holes great guitar to play with still all original hardware standing the test of time but again I do like my Gibson es 135 with p90s and would have liked to have seen. Bit of hybro /chett Atkins finger picking but great video. Play any of these guitars through a fender hot rod mk 1 USA built amp if you can get your hands on one lol and you can create any great 50s style. I got mines in a barn sale /old music shop forgotten about wth all original labels still on it incl the plastic selfane proffer and the cover and Chanel switch was still in its original unopened bags. Never played till now think they forgot about it in the shop what a find 💰🕵️👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

beautiful chord voicing,love the tones.can you talk about amps used and signal path?sounds like a subtle delay was used?

white falcon and the cherry 6119

great demo!

Exquisite

Magic playing and demo many thanks,whats not to like ! Rather have guitars on my wall than pic's anyday !

I'm just in love with the G6118T-LIV :3 Please, what's your amp, cab? Which effect did you used (compressor?) for this demo?

The Chet Atkins and the Falcon rule over all. You know it is true.

man what a sound !!!!

Tasty guitars, tasty playing. Nice one.

Very very very Nice!!!!!!!

I’ve tried TV Jones PUs Country Gentelman 6122 but they sounded too bluesy for a Gretsch guitar. I préfère the stock Filtertrons PUs .

Thank you. It was very helpful.

Where cab i buy that track, my god that was a beautiful demo

Richard, do you have a CD of your riff's. I could listen to your stuff all day long man. You are a great player . I just ordered one you demoed the G5422TG. I have a 1960, 6120 but it needs the binding redone so I don't break it out too often. Bought it in 65 I'm the second owner. Again, I would love to buy a CD or DVD of your music. Is there one available ? An instruction video would be even better. I'm just an OK player. Would love to pick up some tips on your style. Thanks.

Really great, thank you ! What's the amp you use for this demo ?

Nice demo!

awesome!!!!!!!!!!! what amp is used????????

I love the sound of the Falcon. But it was so much bigger then I anticipated. I have MS, and I felt that the weight of it was hurting my back too much. Which Gretsch sounds almost as good but cheaper then a 6120?
