brad1 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Since I've been seeing so much discussion lately about semi-hollow guitars and P90s, I thought I would show off my new acquisition. It's a Gretsch G2622-P90 Streamliner Center Block Double-Cut P90 with V-Stoptail - Claret Burst. I've been seeing these for a while, when I noticed a brand new one on Reverb for 50 bucks off the normal selling price. And it was 30 minutes away, so I could lose the shipping fee. I got in touch with the guy and asked if he would take another 25 dollars off his asking price, and if I could come by to pick it up. He answered yes to both questions. So she's mine now. I really like this guitar. It sounds great and feels wonderful when I play it; good, low action, and nice workmanship. I took off the Gretsch pickguard because it was way to close to the high E string and I kept hitting it with my pick. Besides, it shows more of the wonderful claret burst finish. The P 90s sound great! I highly recommend! Edited November 27, 2021 by brad1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Very nice, I like the control layout. Is the sound similar to the Gibson P90s? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 Thanks! Two volume, one tone, and a master volume. I can't say how it sounds compared to a Gibson P90 because I've never played one before. Sorry. I like them. They don't make a lot of noise when dirtied up, and when clean and with a good compressor pedal, you can crank it up and still get a nasty tone from them. I really like them. They also sound great perfectly clean. It's my first Gretsch and I can see now why so many people like them. I have a differnet opinion on their drums.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Most everyone needs a semi-hollow. That's a looker, I am not familiar with those pickups, but glad you like the way they sound. Congrats and enjoy👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
