darling67 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Just brought home this beauty from the Guitar Center in Hollywood... There was a gold Gretsch Duo Jet on a stand right near it (near the floor model), and I was going to and fro between the two for a while. In the end, I decided on the guitar I went there intending to buy. I love it. Nice neck (the Gretsch's neck felt less substantial), and warm "acoustic" tones unplugged. Can't wait to plug her in and see what she can do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Stunning! That's what I was going to say: Wow, what a stunner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 A beauty no doubt and congratulations. I was shocked to read in your post though that you bought it at a retailer, and didn't plug it into an amp to hear what it sounded like. I guess you knew what you were going after - but I would've tried it just to make sure all the electronics worked That demonstrates a lot of trust on your part in this day and age!! Regardless, hope you enjoy it greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, hope you enjoy it greatly. Thanks, everyone for all the "NGD love"! Twang, I think it's more a matter of how the guitar feels to me. Hard to explain, but if I were blindfolded while playing the Gretsch and Wildkat side-by-side, I'd have thought the Wildcat was a much larger guitar. The neck was "rounder"-feeling and the sound was bigger (of course, being a semi-hollow while the Gretsch was "chambered"). But I am also one of those "shy" players who avoids making noise in a guitar store. I've had pretty good luck with buying guitars either sight unseen or without playing plugged-in. I suspect this one won't disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
