I bought my Gretsch on a WIM
George Harrison of the Beatles often played a Gretsch and a Epiphone. I took both to be a strong recommendation of his love of the instruments. He also played a Fender Stratocaster and a number of Gibson model guitars. So, why would the man who could have any guitar in the world play a Gretsch, Well that is a question I have asked myself a number of times. When I received mine, the question was answered. Excellent action well over, coupled with great balance and all at a reasonable weight Are there better guitars in the world, YES there are, each of us who is devoted to 4, 6 or 12 strings. Has a standard that we develop. It is what makes a guitar work for us as musicians. Gretsch in my judgement has found the mix of things musicians seek in claiming a favorite instrument. The product is well made, comfortable and it is the type of guitar you can sit for hours or stand for hours if you are playing a gig and be perfectly comfortable with. That is a rare but wonderful experience when it is found. I personally own 23 guitars and I will always have a Gretsch in my collection, why, well because I like them and that is good enough reason. I should add that back in the mid 1960's I had the pleasure of being a day musician at MoTown. Another day musician played a Gretsch and he would not touch any other guitar. I asked him why one day and he handed me his Gretsch, since he never let anyone else touch his prized guitar, I was honored that he trusted me. It only took a couple of minutes before I could see why he has such a commitment to the Gretsch. I have been a fan every since and I am talking over 55 yers and counting.
Gretsch G5655TG Amethyst
This is my third Gretsch guitar following my G5420T and my G5422G-12 string. The smaller body size is more comfortable and the Broad'tron pickups have some bite to them. The thin "U" shaped neck has grown on me and it gets more comfortable every time I pick it up. But my favorite aspect of this guitar is the color. Purple is my favorite color and the Amethyst with gold hardware is absolutely gorgeous. As always my Sales Engineer Jeff Rohlfing was on top of things and kept me updated with the information. All in all I'm quite happy with the G5655TG as I am with my other Gretsch guitars and I'm already searching for my next one
