Well now! Isn't that something.

I just gave my 6120 a good workout with a good dose of overdrive (OKKO Diablo)and

some delay and reverb. Heavely tone!

Now checking out the forum and I see this! Great! Love the White Falcon!

Gretsch is one make of guitar that just doesn't move me at all. I don't know why but none of the models has ever appealed to me one iota. It isn't so much the way they play (they play fine - I have tried) but there is something about them (or not about them) that just turns me off.

I bought a new Gretsch Country Gentleman in 1963. Had it for about 3 weeks, and returned for a Gibson ES 355 which I still have. Nothing wrong with the Gretsch, but for some reason it just did not suit me. I have been looking for a nice Country Gentleman for a long time now, and would love to find a nice original early to late 60s model.I have played many Country Gentlemans, and just love that sound. I compare the Gretsch to a nice Guild.

And, my old '66 Country Gent (Binding rot [cursing] , and all)!

Somehow, a Gretch and a Vox, is much like a Gibson and a Marshall! "Heavenly!!!"

Those are both of my favorite Gretsch models in my respective favorite colors for them. You're killing me!

Thanks, Dub....the Country Gent, is in the shop, getting new binding. But, that's all that's being

done to it! Want to keep it as "original" as I can. However, the binding rot, is severe, and I just

can't live with that, especially on a Vintage guitar that is, by all other standards, in Great (very clean)

condition! Really looking forward, to getting it back, when it's completed! [biggrin]

What does it cost <approx. of course> for a complete rebinding on a Country Gentleman. Always loved that guitar, and would like to find another one.

 

thanks
