Advantages: Tone and Rhythym Monster Disadvantages: Solder joints
Beautifully made guitar with classic Gretsch tone. Absolutely one of the best sounding Korean made guitars I've played. Two Gretsch humbucker pickups each wired to an individual and a master volume control. There is also a three way phase/tone switch which really allows for a wide variety of tones. The carved maple top has a slight flame look to it and is exquisite. When used with a good tube amp, this thing is a rhythm monster. The one caveat I can think of is: The solder joints break down after about 6 years. I have had to have the input jack and the bridge pickup resoldered. It was an easy job and the guitar now sounds and performs like new. Four stars only because of this issue. This has five star tone and is a great sounding, exceptionally well made guitar. I will certainly buy other guitars, but will NEVER sell this ...
This was the guitar which I coveted for many years. My holy grail if you will. I picked this guitar up on eBay for $1500 and if another came up for the same price I'd buy it again.
I've used it in a Jazz band with flat wound strings and I've used it in a rock band and in both groups it's a comfortable, tone-mongering work horse. I love it. The feel, the sound, the look, it's an amazing deal for $1500. I see some around now for $2100 although I haven't seen any on eBay in a year. I'll never be able to afford the $6000 "real-deal" and as far as I'm concerned, I've got the real deal.
I'll try to get a little more specific here, yes it has a Bigsby but no, I've not had any trouble keeping it in tune. I thank the roller bridge for that. The tuning machines are the smoothest tuners I've ever used. The pickups are hotter than ...
Advantages: Good for beginners with a little experience Disadvantages: Not for complete beginners
This is a good DVD for anyone who wants to get started on the electricguitar, and begin to play things a bit more complicated to impress friends and family.
Keith Wyatt is obviously a very accomplished and skilled guitar player, and he knows what he's talking about. He presents new skills clearly and teaches what he knows well.
The only flaw in this DVD is that it may be too hard for complete beginners of the guitar. Where a couple of the lessons it has should be devoted to how to hold the guitar, tuning, how to strum properly and basic chords, it races through these basic skills quite quickly.
However, once you have mastered these key skills, the instructional guide moves along at a good pace, and covers lots of things, such as minor pentatonic scales, major pentatonic scales, dominant chords, power chords, and how to play in ...
