In ways its sexy, and then it just goes and over does it and becomes too busy. I wouldn't even mind the gold hardware if it was a bit more minimal, especially the bridge. The little bit stuck on the tailpiece looks like someone blu-tac'd a belt buckle on there and did a shit job of it too.

That's what's sexy about it. I guess you're just not a country guy.

I think what I like best is they've gone for a burnt orange rather than just a semi transparent range. It definitely carries the feel but some of the touches are just tacky.

i'd rather have a regular duo-jet.

Looks pretty Texas-y. I dig it.

Yea, for western movie fans. I dig it, but the controls are goofy. vol. knob for each pick up and for the master, but only 1 tone knob...

with very few exceptions, Gretsch guitars have the worst colors and finishes.

at first glance, it seemed really cool... but now that i look at it closer, that belt buckle is kind of retardo and the wood looks like a door.

I'd do just fine with a normal leather'd Roundup.

Holy shit I like Gretsches. Joe is right, of course. But I am a degenerate.

I like everything but the little steer heads in the inlays. The color is great though.

Gretsch is only going to make 75 of these.

I love the gretsch finishes. they're way better than gibson finishes.
