Not really a fan of anything Gretsch but that IS real cool. I'm not even going to check it out in more detail 'coz I really like it.

lol.. I once had 16 guitars at one point, I then decided two is enough and i've not gone above that since.

Got an old 70s Ibanez Strat and an Atlas LB3.

It's all I need.

I've got a slew of amps though but they come cheap when you build them yourself.

That's a cool rhythm-guitar for sure. I like the Gretsch-tones more an more. Middy but with that woody hollowness. Recently played an USA Jet Firebird in red. Amazing guitar, very nice neck and a trem that works.

Isn't that what Malcom Young used back in the day?
Dunno if that makes you want it more or less though...
Looks sweet though.

Since I already have a Gretsch Jet I don't really NEED one of these. But I do want one. It's not on the top of my list but if I had some extra cash I'd get one.

A plain maple one, TV Jones Classic Plus and a set of 11's with a wound G.

If I were really rich, I'd get an original '62/'63.

That is really a cool Gretsch, especially in this color.

I've never really been a Gretsch fan - they look great but they're not "me" at all - but that Malcolm signature is very appealing in its simplicity.

I don't know about the "ultimate" anything, but those are my kinds of guitars!

(The Junior anyway, still not 100% sold on the goldtop)
