Amazing guitar at fantastic price
I bought this guitar when first available in 2023. Have been playing it continuously and using it for recording. The sound quality, build quality, and playability are outstanding. This guitar far exceeds the level of other guitars that I have played in this price range. I included a video of the Gretsch G5210-P90 played through a Fender amp and a video recorded through a Marshall amp. No pedals ... just guitar straight into amps.
Very nice guitar!
This guitar came up when I was browsing online. I immediately loved the look and color, but I waited a while before getting "another" guitar. I have a Gretsch 12 string electric and love it, so I figured this would be good too. I decided the price was right so I bought one. The workmanship and finish is superb, no flaws. The weight and balance is just right too. Neck is nice and easy to play on. The P-90s howl, growl, and sing. The only issue was the B string saddle had a burr which caused the string to sitar and sound swirly and louder than the other strings. I cleaned up the saddle with a jewelers file and that fixed it, but it still wasn't just right. knowing this guitar was a keeper, I replaced the wrap around bridge with a higher quality bridge and after the swap and a set up at my local luthier, its perfect. It looks and sounds as good or better than some of my guitars that cost twice as much. Add the hard shell case and you have a gig ready guitar that looks and sounds great and won't break the bank. I like this one so much that I bought the black G5230 with the Bigsby which I'll post a review on later. Looks like George Harrisons "ol' black Gretsch" and is equally as nice as the G5210. Very happy to have these guitars in my collection.
Great Value Gretsch!
Gretsch does not disappoint! Fit and finish is on par with much more expensive instruments. All knobs are heavy metal and feel great in the hands, more importantly, they work! The master volume is a great touch, and the treble bleed keeps it crispy at low output. The setup was really good right out of the box. Intonation was on the money. Super comfortable neck.
From twangy to crunchy to smooth and silky, the P90's deliver!
As a "bang for the buck" purchase, this thing stands up there with offerings from brands like Sire, etc.
Great Value and Quality
I was looking for a single cut p-90 guitar that wouldn't break the bank or my back. Love this guitar (caddilac green)! I was blown away by the quality of the guitar overall. From the chrome hardware to the pickups I was really impressed with this Jet. I honestly didn't know what to expect from the pickups but overall they are well balanced. My neck pickup (7.89 k/ohm) and bridge (8.84 k/ohm) complimented one another nicely and I don't feel the need to upgrade them. Typically when I buy an import guitar, pickups are the first thing to get swapped out. The only thing I'll be adding to this guitar is a linear/ tapper volume pot for the master volume, the rest will stay stock! Mine came in at 8lbs. 5 oz and is well balance with no neck dive. I'll probably pick up another one as a backup when I'm out gigging and playing at church.
