Flying out to my first NAMM in years tomorrow! Pray for my immune system. Any non-mainstream brand suggestions I should try checking out?

OD Guitars for sure!

It’s crazy that they haven’t capitalised on the popularity of the 30 inch, it seems to be either low stock or entirely out of stock in many stores, even just some new colours to freshen things up would’ve been an easy win, or better yet, an Erik Bickerstaffe signature model. I know it’s not Gretsch’s usual forte but these things would fly off the shelves. Although the same could be said for Fender, bring back the P90 Bass VI!

You can probably thank Loathe for blowing up the desire for 30” scale guitars

I play their 30 inch scale junior jet bass. I wonder if it would be possible to add two strings to it? 🤔

Already enough Baritones with P90, we need more with JM, Firebird/Thunderbird Pickups or Humbuckers 💪🏼

Paisley Penguin for the win 🎸 Amazing looks.

Imagine if they did a 30 barritone in gretchs look but with modern specs

I appreciate them taking the "if it ain't broke" route with these, I would love to own one of the Baritone Jets (preferably without the Bigsby, though). Also, DiMarzio announced last week that they're making *essentially* a Super Distortion in Filter-tron size, which will finally solve the routing issues if you need to crank up the output/gain on these

Really?? HMMMM might have to talk to the DiMarzio guys if they're at NAMM about that...

I just want them to make more 30" models for more variety. Maybe a center block baritone?

They used to have another model, the Spectra Sonic, that's now made by TV Jones. It is a premium guitar though, 3k usd iirc

I mean since we got that teardrop silverburst EVH Wolfgang this year, why not a teardrop silverburst finish for the Gretsch Baritone guitar for this year 🤔

I have one of their baritones and I turned it into a bass vi, they’re great baritones for the price range

I find it hilarious that Gretsch, a company with a guitar literally called “ The Country Gentleman” has made some guitars that are excellent for metal.

As a metalhead, Gretsch actually are one of my favorites guitars. The hi-fi, hi-definition sound of a filtertron with a good overdrive are amazing. They not only look great, but there also a joy to play

Be safe and have fun brotha.

Just gorgeous.👍

I play punk and grunge, so I am just as in the dark, but I would love to own a white one with the eagle pick guard one day. Amazing guitars.

Broham... get you a falcon!!! They are perfect for what you play!!! I love mine!! The great thing about a filtertron pickup... you cut through a mix like a hot knife through butter!! In my old band, I played a batch through a vox and my lead player played a les paul through a Marshall. That was a sonic feast for the ears. If you don't believe me, listen to black hole sun along with a ton of other soundgarden songs. Chris loved gretsch guitars

I also think fender should make their bass vi a chug machine. If anything do it in the squire line up and watch as they sell out and start selling used on reverb for American fender prices.

I’m a blues player, not a huge metal guy, but I think Gretsch makes the best sounding production guitars.

I need a penguin attack

Never really paid much attention to Gretsch until I heard John Frusciante play the final chorus of Otherside with one cranked up. The tone was so raw and beautiful. I will be getting one.

Oh man if I didn't already have a White Falcon I'd have my eye on that Paisley Penguin for sure

Gretsch is hands down my favorite guitar company outside of metal. They were my go to guitars for all of the non metal work I’ve done. I really wish they’d dip their toes into the metal space. Hell I might even be tempted to try and make a frankengretch with a different neck and some pickups I think it’d be sick. Classiest guitars on the market imo

Can we get production models of the Jackson VI (Sleep Token) signature already?

No because sleep token sucks

Great Gretsch sound is what pulled me in. The aesthetics are just a bonus. Now I don't want to use anything but a Gretsch because they look and sound amazing.

I don't know what it is with gretch guitars, but man, are they fun to play. And they sound sick

soundgarden made the sparkle jets look dope in the black hole sun video

I honestly really like Gretsch guitars for metal. The last guitar I bought was a Gretsch, and I actively sought it out for metal playing. Genuinely some of the most versatile guitars out there, and with some great looks to boot!

Gretsch makes wonderfully versatile guitars that are also works of art. The White Falcon and Country Gentleman are beautiful.

They're sooo goood

“As a metal player I don’t know about Gretsch” Bro has never heard of Loathe

Semi-hollow body guitars are great for any kind of heavy music!

At least they don’t discontinue them like Squier does

Dude, ya gotta get a Gretsch! Classic good looks and nothing else sounds like them. Plus, FilterTrons are probably the only pickups that do their own thing and are also capable of doing convincing impersonations of classic Fender, Gibson, or even Rickenbacker tones. I personally prefer their single-cuts and have two of them. But any of their guitars are great. I have a few acquisitions and dispositions to do first but I’ll probably be adding to my Gretsch collection.

Haven't been super stoked with NAMM releases so far this year, but Gretsch is the exception. Really loving these I hate gaudy guitars but these are just classy

Love Gretsch guitars...their Electromatic lineup is literally the best value for money guitar you cam buy. I've got one, and just exchanged the pups on it for TVJones filtertrons and its just.....holy shit wow. You gotta play it to believe it. If you havent, try a gretsch. It will make you a better player.

I just want them to make a natural finish CVT

They look really nice, but i just can't take the look of a bigsby. I rarely use a trem anyway, but the only reason I'd get a bigsby would be to negate neck drop.

The Country Djentleman?? Yo, if that comes to be and they take my suggested name all I ask in return is a few of their instruments in return. Never experienced one of their guitars, but they always seem to sound great.

The paisley penguin 🤌

For reasons that I cannot explain Gretsch is my favorite brand.

i appreciate that they're not catering to a new audience bc that would disrupt its lineage. got to respect the classics 😊

There's roumers that these are boat anchors

One of the best playing guitars I own.

Gretsch are some of the Most semi-acoustic...❤👍🤘🎸

Honestly dude, since finding out about the baritone, I've fallen in love with Gretsch. I love making classy looking guitars into metal machines. Never been a fan of the metal guitar aesthetic. I think I'm going to buy a few Gretsch's. They seem to be my new favorite brand 😅

30 inch gretch should be played in E standard tuning with 7s gauge strings.

If you fly with Boeing you should definitely take a spare tire with you and a slightly larger bag to store any parts that have fallen off 😂

To be fair to Gretch, they probably didn't change it because its still selling so well. If ain't broke don't fix it I guess? Personally though, some higher output pickups with coil splits would be nice, other than that.... its great!

Prise ? You're out or order! 😂

pretty sure its because fender doesnt want gretsch to be known as a metal brand, like charvel and jackson. why jackson hasn’t dropped a 30” bari to meet demand is beyond me though

I love my Jet but I HATE the pickups

Honestly, Gretsch could totally tap into the heavier guitar market, now that, thankfully, people are getting tired of black everything and are embracing sparkle finishes and vintage colors in heavier music. As much as I don’t really like a lot of modern metal, as it’s too produced and quantized, I do love that people are seemingly moving away from nothing but black guitars and boring finishes

If it ain't broken...

Please, please, please grab a G5210 P90. I suspect that your metal mind will be very pleased.

Why do so many guitars coming out have pale colored fretboards? Yes I realize it’s a preference but to me it makes them look dried out.

@agufish

5 ай бұрын

It's a lot easier for most Asian guitar factories to get laurel rather than rosewood, and laurel is generally a lighter wood. I'd love to see brands start to stain the fretboards to a darker color (assuming they can do it in a way where it doesn't come off on your fingers)

@ectosproductions6972

@@agufish Makes sense. I've seen *some* guitars with that lighter color that still have interesting grain and they look fine. Biggest disappointment for me was the new Ibanez Iceman guitars.. Who knows, maybe they'll look better in person!

serious question, is this brand actually worth buy? what are your considerations?

Day 3 asking "what about the Epiphone Dave Grohl?"

More gretsch please

I feel like it's just me that doesn't like gretch. Ugly to me. And I love bright colors. Only have 1 black guitar. And it was only because it was the only 9 string at the time. Wish it was red or green.

30" baritone? sir that's a bass vi

The Gretsch baritone is 29 3/4 - not exactly 30 but pretty darn close. Cool instruments but some of the worst pickups ever put in a baritone sorry it has to be said! 😂❤

All that for it to go out of tune by the end of the first song

These Chinese made guitars are showing up more and more I’ve noticed .

Retail price on these? I’ve always wanted a bass man but this makes that look like a bish..

who was the masked dude in the thumbnail? was that ghost? does he really play with gloves on? or are his hands just that black? lol
