I asked them to bring one to Viva Las Vegas 13 so I can try one out onstage. I played one for a little bit here in Calgary, but it was in desperate need of a tuneup. I'd like to try something of theirs in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are known for their guitars and their drums, but if they made a 35 scale solid like their guitars, That would be the Biz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUFFAW!, don't know. I was kinda afraid to run that dawg. I didn't know where to begin there was hi and low inputs, and channels and hi/low switches for each channel, I'm not used to any of that, and I didn't want to {censored} up some nice vintage gear with my ignorance. Matt (my luthier/store owner) was busy so I didn't get try it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have gotten good reviews. It's made by Terada in Japan so damn good quality, although a little pricey. It has Trestle bracing like the Setzers. More sustain and less feedback. It's the same as Chet's guitar that he had on the cover of the Workshop album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Phantasm Posted November 28, 2009 Members Share Posted November 28, 2009 I know a Gretsch collector named Matt Touchard, and his collection would simply make you guys break down in tears. He used a '59 sparkly Gresch in a band we were in together that was just delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
