out of all the single pickup-volume-tone guitars out there, i like this one the best...

i like the gretsch junior body style better than the LP style...its got more curves.

make sure to get a dearmond tremolo so you can get your bo diddley on.

I fully endorse your purchasing and rocking of this.

I prefer sunburst on jrs, though - otherwise the top looks empty and sad

How much is that?

I agree, those look awesome. they're pretty cheap too. sunburst is so boring compared to all the sparkledy gretsch colors though.

those were not very good at all, also bolt-on yuckyness.

i've been fairly unimpressed with the electromatic gretsches, but the japanese made ones are fantastic. particularly the duo-jet.

The new cheaper series of Gretsch since Fender took over are better, but that's from the older series. Those were all over ebay for $100-115.

I think Nick also had a different model from the old series, and he didn't like it at all.

I just added that cause a couple people on here and on some other forums I post on have the new ProJets, and they like them alot. It seems they really bumped up the quality with the newer budget line.

it said

With a list price of $325, Iâ€™m happy to offer these at $175 which is very reasonable for a quality starter guitar â€“ but these will arrive with our in-house setup and, seriously, good enough for the accomplished guitarist.

which is kind of expensive.

Yes that was me who had the synchromatic series Duo Jet....it was alright.....I paid $220 used. I'd compare it to a bolt on epi in terms of quality and feel. I returned it when one of the tuners just snapped off in the gig bag. I realized all that glitters is not gold. It sure looked the part though.
