I did something today I never thought I would do. I got my first #Gretsch#guitar. I traded the Stagemaster for it. I would describe both the visuals and tone as "shiny".
I might put a pic or two of it on my Pixelfed in a couple of days.
@vwbusguy Nice! The Filter'Tron equipped models are very versatile. My experience of them is that they can navigate between PAF and single coil quite nicely. And , paired with a Bigsby, the aesthetics are unmatched. The brand feels a bit soulless in its Fender era; like G&L under BBE.
@mwhjohnson I have a PRS Custom 24-08, which is much more convincing for doing PAF and Strat sounds. This guitar tone lives somewhere inbetween those two worlds.
@imabuddha Brian Setzer is immediately who I think of - or some random jazz guitarist. I recently found out the Fall Out Boy guitarist plays a Gretsch and I'm treating it as a sort of in between of my Strat and Ibanez and it fits nicely in that gap. Not as fat as a PAF and not as biting as a hot single coil.
