I turn 40 in feb. The time could be right (fundage pending) to get myself one of those Johnny A. semi-hollow guitars........or another strat.

[Douglas Baines]

old and nostalgic? maybe...

but at least you've got a wicked guitar to do it on!

[60HzShuffle]

I don't feel too bad for being impulsive this time as I got for about 40% retail (meaning 60% off retail).

...got the "urge" to use your thumb to fret along the bass string and pull off chords with the right hand?

...Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, Paul Yandell, etc.?

[60HzShuffle]

You got it. Also thought it would be a little less prone to feedback than my Heritage Sweet 16. I heard some sound clips over at the GDP comparing the different models and pickups and really like the sound he was getting. I was thinking about a setzer model but that may be later down the road.

Check these out.

I would really like to try the Setzer Black Phoenix. The best Gretsch I have ever played though, a 2006 Black Penguin. I got goose bumps playing that thing.

Thats a cool guitar - I'm sure you'll get years of pleasure from it. Thats a really good comparison page which you provided a link to. I've never owned a Gretsch hollowbody style guitar but after listening to some of those clips, I may have to start thinking about it.

[DC1]

Nah... that's just a bitchin' guitar.

And 40 ain't old. I would love to be 40 again...

heh

I'm not 40... yet... and I say that Gretsch rocks.

[MightyGuru]

A friend of mine has a '59 6120. That guitar is so sweet and playable it freaks me a bit.

Ahh, not necessarily. Let's not forget the fellow Australian rockers who prove that nobody is too young and no music is too heavy for a gretch.

I'm in my mid 20's over here and I LOVE Gretsch hollowbodies, only guitars I'll ever play. Old's got nothing to do with it, just a love of great guitars.
